Question: How do i make 'light drawings!?'!?
I have a Nikon CoolPix S210 which has many modes!.
For example, a couple would be: Night Portrait, Night Landscape and Fireworks!.

I know that you need a 'long shutter' in order to make a light drawing!.
And of course a light pen!.

But do i have 'long shutter!?' and would i be able to make light drawings with my camera!? If so, how!?

THANKS A LOT!

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
You can probably use the fireworks option to make some "light drawings" or as I call it "Painting With Light"!. There are several groups on Flickr dedicated to this technique and you can find out much more there!. Experiment with it! A "long shutter" means a shutter speed that is several seconds long (at least) to give you time to wave your light around and make a drawing or whatever it is you want to do!.
You can check out my "light paintings" at www!.flickr!.com/photos/jamieseed if you like, and feel free to ask for more clarification if need be!.
I say just experiment with the CoolPix on a tripod with the fireworks setting until you find your own technique!. Good luck and have fun!
