Playing with Fire

So, you've all seen the awesome "LOVE" wedding picture on pinterest, that appears to be written out of Fire. Neat. So I was determined to figure out how to take these pictures. All you have to do it slow your shutter speed wayyyy down.

   Hold the camera really still, press the shutter and wait. Once it's all done 'processing' (aka, the little men inside my camera finish coloring the picture), view the picture to see what you've "drawn with fire".

The first time I did this was around a wintery bonfire, after a great evening of tobogganing. If "night tobogganing" isn't on your Bucket List, put it on there....  However, my fingers would get too cold to take several pictures in a row, so my friends and I had to take 'mitten shifts' so we stayed warm. Also, I have no idea the temperature tolerance of a camera, and since my camera is new I may have been babying it, just a little bit.
