Want to capture some fun designs or words with SPARKLERS?
Try out these camera settings.
Use a tripod or flat surface to keep camera steady. You can't do this hand held because you want to wait until it's dark!
DSLR Camera
Beginners: Set to Shutter Priority
Set your SS at 3" ("= seconds)
Have your subject start drawing as soon as you click the button and continue until you hear the shutter click. Stick with something easy at first like a heart. You may want to draw with a sparkler in each hand.
How does it look?
Too bright? Click shutter speed to 2"
Too dark? Try changing your shutter speed to 4"
Experiment and have fun.
Writing words should be written right to left unless you plan to flip the photo in edit. Cursive is easier. For longer words you may want to try out a longer shutter speed like 6 or 8"
Intermediate: Let's go MANUAL Mode (not to be confused with manual focus)
Play around with settings and be creative. That is why the delete button was created!
The SLOWER you DRAW the THICKER your lines will be

BUY the LONG sparklers or safety sparklers. You can also find great options by searching wedding sparklers.
