Ball of Light
The best camera settings for light trails photography are:
- Use a tripod
- set the lens to manual and the dial on the camera to M. The Nikon camera can be turned to bulb mode
- Choose the lowest ISO value: 100
- Set your aperture to the sweet spot of your lens, in the f/4 to f/11 range
- Use a shutter speed of between 10-30 seconds, you may need to experiment
- Try to use different light sources: glow sticks, led lights, flashlights, sparklers etc.
- Have the person who is playing with the light try to move slightly, so they are not seen in the shot
- shoot in dark or low light
