Step 1What you Need

What you Need
Today we're going to show you how to get creative with your camera (or your parent's) using glow sticks. I got this idea from watching the Poi jugglers in Boston Commons one afternoon.

What you need:
-A Tripod or the self-timer feature on any camera
-Some glow sticks (you can find these at the local Convince store or Dollar Store)
-Ceiling fan (optional)

I like this kind of photgraphy, My friend and I experimented with fire and photgraphy a while back and it was amazing, with practice you can draw shapes, think homemade fire poi but with a solid shaft instead of strings, this allows you to get some crazy shapes including the flaming bow tie of doom and an elephant were the best I could do, try glow sticks taped together in series of colours around spining objects (I used a big fan)
