What settings for this shot? at DVinfo.net

Hello,

I had a couple making a heart shape with sparklers and wanted to know what the best settings are to capture something like this that would give a tracer type effect? I tried a really slow shutter speed (15 and below) and was able to get something useable, but thought it could have been better. I may be able to fine tune in post.

Thanks,
Troy

Troy, the slower the shutter speed the more motion blur you'll get......I think this is what you're looking for?
