Lighter Photography

You can make artistic photos with your digital camera, a lighter, and a tripod.

You only need three things.
1. A digital camera.
2. A tripod.
3. A lighter

misc.
A subject for your photo i.e. me.

I bought my tripod at Best buy for $30. It is very nice.

On your digital camera find the option for exposure. On my Sony it is under menu. Make sure the exposure is +2 for over exposure. this over-exposes the camera so it is senitive to light.
My ISO setting was 100 but 400 is the most senitive to light.

Set up the tripod and turn off the lights in the room. Make sure no excess light from windows etc. do not bleed through a photo. Use the bathroom if you must.

This is the area where I shot the photos, oviously it has to be dark.

You can use the timer option but I did not. I just pushed the shutter button and turned on the lighter. Anyway when you hear the shutter about to go off with a timer or when you pushed the button on the camera, immmediately turn on you lighter and keep it lit.
It will take some time to get the timing just right but in the end the photos are sweet (do people still say sweet?)

Experiment with shutter speeds if your camera has them and ISO settings.
Move the flame around to get some cool shots.
Have fun!
