Wow (:

One suggestion is if you have a tripod, you can go outside and take a photo with a long shutter setting of a car going by or a plane flying over or something (at night) and it comes out really cool.

I actually just figured out how to set the shutter time up to 15 seconds so I just need a tripod and i'll be able to do it.

I like playing with this. Haha. Try a lot more stuff rather than circles but these are good. :)

On camera settings,use BULB* (you will need another person) [buy some "color" lights] and then just be creative :)

*The bulb setting keeps the shutter open as long as you press the shutter button

It is called "LIGHT GRAFFITI" you can find maany examples in google :)

It's best to invest in a tripod. I got mine for $35 and it works fine. Don't use bulb in most circumstances- the weight of your finger pressing on the button (even on a tripod) would shake the camera enough to blur the photo. In this case it's best to use a remote-control shutter, or if your camera doesn't have one, a shutter delay timer would do too.

Good luck!

Depends on camera. On mine,you dont have to press it so "much"

Dont tell me they havent used the BULB settings..

I don't have a remote to it but it does have a self timer that I'll start using.
