A 5 second exposure of a sparkler attached to an electric drill.
“Continue reading” for conventional and multi-coloured sparkler effects.
In the 5 second exposure there are sparkles only in the complete darkness. A rear curtain flash follows. This is a flash at the end to light me up in a non blurred manner since I am moving.
Long exposures of moving light sources give dramatic effects.
Above: Jaimie are you ready? Jaimie unwittingly pushes the RED BUTTON and explodes.
This was how it was meant to be done. Same sparklers in a cordless drill but using a rotating colour filter. Spin the colour filter slowly and the sparkles colour changes every second or so.
