its a slow shutter speed experiment, creat really cool photos like the ones shown here. Its not that hard once you get the hang of it. just get a digital camera that has a manual setting[thats a f stop] and set it on the lowest setting. I usually try F 6, but it is an experiment

its a slow shutter speed experiment, creat really cool photos like the ones shown here. Its not that hard once you get the hang of it. just get a digital camera that has a manual setting[thats a f stop] and set it on the lowest setting. I usually try F 6, but it is an experiment

Instructions

1. 

   set the manual setting look for the M. Most digital cameras will either have it on a dial[like the picture] or a setting for it]

2. 

   fiddle with that F stop to get the F stop to work you need to press down on the F stop button[usually near the on/off button) it will most likely have a shutter symbol next to it.

3. 

   next step is to set up the camera on a tripod get ready to shoot your object and then click the shutter button Now wait, don't touch the camera. The shutter is moving at a very slow speed, so wait till you hear a click.[that will be the shutter closing) usually one minute wait time. now you can view ur experimental picture
