A Bit of History
My family and I love to go to the family cabin several times a year. Its a great way for us to get away and enjoy something that we don't do on a daily basis. We spend most of our time outside around a fire, day and night. Night time, s'mores are a great treat that all of us look forward too! While having s'mores one night, I decided to get a picture of my son who was covered in chocolate by the end of our little treat!!
With the camera already out and my crochet hooks and yarn readily available, I decided to try something that I read about but always wanted to try!
Drawing with Light
If you own a SLR camera (not a point and shoot,) you have the option of changing the shutter speed. I changes mine to take a picture for 14 seconds and brought out my light up crochet hooks. With my remote for my camera in hand, I stood in front with my lit up hooks.
The second I clicked the remote button for the camera to take the picture, I started swirling the hooks.....

| This isn't my first picture, the first one I didn't have center enough. |
My husband got involved after seeing my first picture and my son was very eager to do it as well!!

This is a great technique to do with sparklers, and what I wanted to do originally but with none around, my hooks were the next best thing!!
***Readers Challenge***
If you have a SLR or know someone who does, this is a fun and creative thing to do!! There are endless possibilities as to what can be done! We'd love to see your results!!
