Hi Andy

I do like that kind of shot, but that's not really on theme. In some way, you, have to do the light painting or Graffiti.

Some examples are:

Light Painting.
If you were to go to the Angel of the North statue, (which is not lit up at night) and put your camera on bulb or 30 sec exposure, then shine a torch all over it (i.e. paint the statue with light.

Graffiti.
Again, you'd need a dark place. You'd set your camera up and move a light about to create the image. Imagine the effect when you move a sparkler around on fireworks night for example. In fact, a sparkler could be used too.

That is quite ironic as I don't have any ideas and when I do the photos are rubbish
