More fun with Sparklers
Saw a photo on the school site where someone wrote I Love You with a flashlight with a dark field in the background.. It was a neat shot!
So, could not resist the idea to write I love U with sparklers in my backyard.
Here are the two tries that came out. The sparkler lasts 18 or so seconds and the shot in self timer mode starts only after a 10 second countdown. Really wish there was an option on the XTi to change timer to 2 seconds!
If you want to try this, go manual mode, try an 8 to 10 second exposure at f20 or a smaller aperture..
Spent a lot of sparklers and then realized that when I wrote I L U , it came out as U L I in the photo. So make sure you practice writing in reverse to get it right on the photograph....

Try getting a RC1 remote for canon. It has a timer that works for 1, 2 & 10 seconds.
