I've always found it fun to make light trails when I take pictures in the dark with objects like christmas lights or burning embers (which is the case here). After about an hour and a half of Zumba at my parents house, we grilled some dinner, then Dad started up the fire pit so we could make s'mores. Unfortunately, no one thought to find any long sticks to roast marshmallows on before it got dark, so Dad roasted everyone's on his own using these little metal skewers. After the gooey goodness, I decided to have fun with light trails. Basically, when it's dark, the camera needs to keep the shutter open longer to allow light to develop the image, and by moving the camera around while the shutter is open, you get cool light trails like this!
Until Tomorrow,
