Sooooooo! Here's how I did it. (For cameras that have shutter speed control only)
1. Get your camera on a tripod or steady surface in your bathroom(well, that's where I did it) or any room with a big mirror, but I recommend the bathroom (you'll see why.)
2. Next, set up your camera facing the mirror.
3. Put the camera on manual mode, change the shutter speed to at least 3".
4. Turn off all the lights in your bathroom and get your flashlight ready.
5. Close the door so you're in total darkness, or you can leave the door slightly peeped open. (Make sure the flash is off!)
6. Get your finger on the shutter-release button (button you use to take the picture) and have the flashlight on.
7. Press the the shutter-release button.
8. QUICK! Aim the flashlight at the mirror and draw something, you only have 3 seconds!
9. After, just wait a couple seconds for your camera to process the picture, and voila! You got your flashlight fun pic.
That's basically how you can take the picture! It takes some practice to get used to taking the picture, so practice, practice, practice and you'll come out with some sweet pictures.
*Tip: For SLR uses, you can set the shutter at bulb instead of 3", just make sure that when you draw the picture in the mirror that you keep your finger on the shutter release button until you're done drawing your pic.
Also! You should try this in the car at night, when you're going down the street, do the exact same thing, except instead of moving your flashlight, move you camera around when the shutter is still open, you'll come out with some sweet, trippy pics
Have fun!
