This set probably would've fit on either of the last two challenges, but I took the pictures a bit too late. This weekend we were trying some Popup Linksparklers in the backyard and  Popup Linkexperimenting with different speeds and exposures. Even my mom got in the action making her own Popup Linksnake.  We had not done this before because my nephew was still too little but now, even though he could not hold the Popup Linklit sparklers, he had fun running all over the place and looking at the pictures in the camera. He was even game to help me experiment with this  Popup Linkaction shot. He had shoes that light up when he runs, so I took this 2 second exposure of him running, but you can only see his shoes. Here I fired m flash half way through the Popup Linkexposure,  to see him. One last experiment had my sister move her sparkler in a circle for Popup Linkhalf a second, then for a Popup Linkfull second. This last one was my favorite, and we got it, just in time before a storm came by with it's own light show.

  • Looks like you had a lot of fun. It's great to experiment with new things, and when you get a keeper like the last shot, it makes it even better.

    Good job on the experiments. The last is a keeper. I was also intrigued by "action shot".
