  2. Mr. R - Super easy and way fun.

    1) Get a digital camera that you can manipulate the settings on. You will need to change the shutter speed somewhere between 6-12 seconds. In my classroom 8 seconds was perfect. This step involves a little bit of trial and error.

    2) Put that camera on a tripod.

    3) Black out all windows or do in a room without any outside light. I used black bulletin board paper for my windows and door.

    4) Find small objects that emit light. Flashlights, flashing shoes, cell phones - etc. I used normal flashlights and then used scrap theatre gels to make them different colors.

    Next - stand infront of the camera in a dark room - move around while the camera is taking the picture for about 8 seconds.

    In my classroom I had the camera hooked up to a tv so the students could see the results in real time.

Due to many unrelated comments I have decided to moderate them. I will post everything as long as it is on topic.
