66. Sparkler Skull

Sparkler Drawing. I hope you didn't think I was skipping today, I just had to wait until dark to capture this one! Thanks to J for procuring the sparklers and being my camera assistant.

    thats pretty cool
    did you just use a manual shutter speed for it?

    Thanks!
    I set the camera as follows:
    400 ISO
    f5.0
    Bulb Setting
    The shutter was then manually held open for as long as the skull took to draw (5-7 seconds).

    I wish digital camera's could do extended exposures (as far as I know they can't)

    This is REALLY impressive. How many tries did it take? I can't believe how well it came out!

    Thanks! I did about 20 versions. Several were decent, but this was definitely my favorite.
