DIRECTIONS

• Go to a darkened room (garage, lights out is perfect)

• Set camera on a tripod or on top of a table, chair, or something non-moving

• Camera settings: Manual Mode // Shutter Speed 3 seconds (3") // Aperture f5.6 // ISO 100 // Manual Focus

• Look through the viewfinder and focus on your subject across the room. They should be holding up a small flashlight so you can see to focus on them.

• Take a photo and during the 3 seconds, have the person wave the flashlight around to create the desired shape. You will get something similar to what you see in the slideshow to the left.
