DIRECTIONS:
1. Do this project outside at night, or in a dark room.
2. Use a small light source (pen light/sparkler/phone screen on bright/etc.)
3. Slow your shutter speed to a very slow time (1sec, 5sec, 10sec, 20sec, 30sec, BULB...).
Note #1: If you DO NOT have the iPhone app 'Slow Shutter,' you might be able to use the 'low light' function on the iPhone. This function gives you up to three seconds of exposure time. You will likely need to experiment with this setting to achieve success.
Let me know how you progress through your trial and error.
Note #2: If you are working with an Android phone, you might have a 'Pro' mode which will give you shutter speed adjustment ability.
4. Position the camera on something sturdy so it will not move when the shutter is open.
5. Have someone, or yourself, aim the light at the camera.
6. When ready, snap the picture (open the shutter) and write the word/phrase/something in the air with light source.
7. Start at "1" on the list.
8. Enjoy the process.
