Awesome.
Lot of patience in these kind of photos and fun to experiment.
Like the second one: think it gives itself well to B&W.

This wasnt done in black and white which is the best thing. It was taken in the old dover war tunnels in literally pitch black conditions

Very interesting, but what are we looking at here? Some of the light lines look like you've used something like a laser pointer while keeping the shutter open, but what are the spherical shapes on the ground? Different and creative. I like the fist one.

they were created using a "led wheel" consisting of a bike wheel, leds attached to the spokes with a stick through the central hole for a.pivot point. the leds are connected via half a metre of wiring to a pressure switch which is used to revolve the "light wheel" without catching any ghosting in the image

Interesting stuff, creates a great effect!

Really different and creative. I like the first two and envy your patience in working out the how-to's.
