  1. You need to set a low shutter speed on the camera, make sure it’s still, then use a sparkler/lighter/flashlight/laser pointer etc. and play with it.
    Lighters are usually accessable but I’d suggest sparklers, they’re always a good time!

    • Yeah, my sister and her friends are photo students and they literally do this in their free time for fun! And they use sparklers. And sometimes the smoke from a hookah to make things look… mysterious? ;)
