I made this with the moon.

[sassy8girl]

wow the moon really but the sky is too blue was it early or is the color edited

[CamWaite]

 no if its early enough at night or vice versa at morning long exposure will make the sky look blue

[Bardouv]

 it was early and I had to mess with exposure settings to get a good line. So it made things alot lighter.

 I tried using a lighter and making the easiest shape i could think of!

Haha am I the only one that noticed this: " Any setting will do, just make sure it is dark and the sun is shinning." I'm guessing that was supposed to be a joke?

If you have a separate flash attachment, just draw in the dark, then set off one flash. That way you won't get the ghosting of the writer if you don't want it.

another thing to mention is : if you use a fancy pants DSLR camera, set the aperture to a higher value if taking a longer exposure so that it doesn't let in too much light and overexposes the picture.

I love doing that, but I did it with a regular camera and just set a delay, and used a led flashlight.

It helps to do this with a digital camera while on 'night mode', the exposure is longer that way. this is a fun thing to do.
