The night of our two-year anniversary we drove home from California, but had just enough time to attempt sparkler writing. We had never tried it before, but I always thought it looked really cool. It's actually quite simple.
what you need:
- Camera (I used my Canon Rebel EOS T3i)
- Tripod
- Sparklers
- Lighter
what to do:
- Put your camera on Shutter Priority Mode
- Attach your camera to a tripod
- Adjust the timer (I used 5 seconds for the "2" and 10 seconds for "love")
- If possible, have someone press the button for you
- Practice the outline before you actually take the picture
- Don't forget that you will need to write backwards
- If you finish your outline before the timer goes off just stay still
- Cursive works best, and just keep your lettering flowing and loopy
♥ What do you think? Have you tried sparkler writing before?
Looks great! Congrats on your two-year! ^__^

I agree, each one is a milestone. We like to celebrate our relationship every chance we get :)
DeleteThis is wonderful!! I've always wanted to do this, but I don't think I have the shutter priority mode on my camera sadly.

I wish we lived closer! If we were in the same city this is what we could do on the weekends. ♥
DeleteLove this! I've always wanted to do this!! Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteTry it :) If you do, let me know how it all turns out!
DeleteJust plain AWESOME!!!!! Just like you two!!
ReplyDeleteAwwww! That is so sweet ♥
DeleteOkay, so I've been shooting for over 2 years and for whatever reason I have the HARDEST time with this. At 4th of July this year my relatives had their point and shoots out and they were getting awesome shots with light sticks while I was sitting there with my DSLR getting nothing shots like a total buffoon. Embarrassing! Lol, with that being said THANK YOU for this!
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm so glad it helped. When you try it again let me know how it goes :)
DeleteI love this! Great tutorial! I've been wanting to try this for a long time now.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's simple. You should definitely give it a go :)
DeleteI've always wondered how people do this! Thanks for the tutorial!
ReplyDeleteOf course! I hope you get a change to try it. It's fun :)
DeleteI`ve always wanted to try this but haven`t yet!
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I put it off for so long because I thought it would be tricky to figure out. It's simple! You should try it :) If you do, send me the link so I can see your creation.
