Question:What does it take to turn a room full of grown adults into giggling, gasping, delighted children??
Answer: An array of those silly glow sticks, a laser light and a darkened dance studio!
Last night's photo shoot revolved around "bulb" mode (I found it easily!) and "painting with light". It was so much fun, and all of us really did giggle and have the best time jumping, looping, drawing and generally throwing caution to the wind with those light sticks. In bulb mode, you must use a tripod (note to self: get a tripod), and your camera is set to shoot what it sees within a time frame you give it. These were shot at a 4 second delay. Our group was at the end of the dance studio with the bar and mirror so we got reflections in the background. That was fine- actually it was kind of "cool"!
Adulthood can be over-rated sometimes and last night was one of those child-like experiences that left us all grinning ear-to-ear.
So let it snow (again!). I will choose my next great read, remember jumping around with a glow stick, and perhaps cut a few more fabrics to finish off row#3 of the Temecula project I am working on. Life is good.

Oh, my -- so those children had left elementary school a few years ago? Looks like a lot of fun. I never did know there was a bulb mode on my camera. Then again, maybe on the old 35 mm film camera it was called something else.
Glad you had fun cause I did notice some of the white stuff falling. I did like Saturn (as in my car and a planet) until the snow hit. Jerry's at work and I'm wondering if I'm going to get out. Good thing I don't have far to go.
Oh my, what fun! And yes, the very next thing you purchase should be a tripod. Wonder for holding camera steady for those close-ups and night shots. So glad your class is teaching you so much, and I wish I could be there, too!
