How To Photograph Sparkler Writing

JM and I bought some sparklers last year on the 4th of July; they’re so much fun! And, they’re a great photo opportunity if you want to have some awesome streaks of light and sparkles in your photos! So today I’m going to show you how to photograph sparkler writing. It’s perfect for the 4th of July, weddings, engagement photo shoots, or any sort of celebration!

With just a few simple camera settings, sparklers, and a tripod, you can take awesome photos! You can write out words, draw a heart, or just draw some awesome squiggles in the air and make it look like there’s a fairy flying around you!

Here’s what you need: (affiliate links below to the products I use and recommend)

• sparklers
• a camera with manual settings
• a tripod

Note: I used my Canon Rebel T3i and my Vanguard Alta Pro tripod for these photos and they turned out great! The T3i has been discontinued but you can still find it on Amazon, or the Canon Rebel T5i is the newest version of that same camera. But any camera where you can manually set the shutter speed will work just fine. And if you don’t have a tripod, you can work around it by setting the camera on a table or a brick or something sturdy.
