St. Basil's Cathedral

This is using the Shutter Priority Mode on my camera.

The subject in this blip is a night light that is a 5 cm x 5 cm x 8 cm tall (2 in x 2 in x 3 in) glass cube that was laser etched with the image of St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow.

It sets on a revolving circular mirror with a centered light source.

I took this blip in a dark room with just the light from the nightlight as it was slowly spinning. This blip is the most detailed.
The other photos were more colorful, since the light changes color from white to red to green to yellow, then repeats.
The etched design is the front view of the cathedral, however they copied the front center on the backside, probably to maintain symmetry with the existing side domes, which causes one inaccuracy - this is the backside because the vertical striped dome is supposed to be on the left, the horizontal waves dome on the right, but here you see it reversed.
