You need to set a low shutter speed on the camera, make sure it’s still, then use a sparkler/lighter/flashlight/laser pointer etc. and play with it.
Lighters are usually accessable but I’d suggest sparklers, they’re always a good time!
Yeah, my sister and her friends are photo students and they literally do this in their free time for fun! And they use sparklers. And sometimes the smoke from a hookah to make things look… mysterious? ;)
Awesome, thanks! I really wanna try it out at some point in the near future.
