DIRECTIONS: At night, slow your shutter speed to a very slow time (1, 5, 10, 20, 30 seconds...BULB). Position the camera on something sturdy so it will not move during the open shutter time. Have someone, or yourself, use a penlight (or some small intense light) pointed to the camera to "write" in the air with light.
NOTE: Sparklers/steel wool are NOT required for this project. If you use sparklers or steel wool (or similar), you must get permission/supervision. You and your family are responsible for any negligent damage/destruction that may occur.
