Step 1: What you Need

P1010596.JPG
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 know how you got the circle but how did you get the sphere like pic?

Long exposures would probably help too. Good instructable very clear.

neat stuff. I'm gonna do this with V symbol (V for Vendetta) in front of our poli-sci. building. It'll be great!

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)
