Since it's the summer season and many of you are lighting/watching fireworks, I figured it would be useful to write a post about how to take the long-exposure shots.
You will need:
- A digital camera- one that has "bulb" mode
- Sparklers
- A tri-pod
- People to help take the pictures
Set up your tripod and make sure your camera is in focus- I know it's really tempting just to start taking pictures as soon as the sparklers are lit, but take a second and make sure it's focused, otherwise, the entire batch of pictures will be garbage quality.
Next, light a sparkler. When they start to draw or write, push down the shutter button and hold it down until they're done (it's helpful to have them say start and stop) or until the sparkler goes out.
That's it! Here are some of the pictures we took with sparklers! Enjoy! Please comment down below with any questions you may have!
*This method (bulb mode) also works great for fireworks!

We have tried it also with emergency lights and they work great. The ones that come in a plastic tube that need to break and mix to release the light. And they last for hours. Thanks for sharing
