Photographing Long Exposures of Sparklers (Tutorial)

Here is a how-to tutorial on long exposure photography with sparklers. I also show you how to make perfectly symmetrical psychedelic patterns just by using your DSLR, Adobe Photoshop, and sparks from your fireworks in part II of the tutorial. Make sure to pick up your fireworks the day AFTER Independence Day because they are usually on sale.

I might take a look at the tutorials if they were free, but if I had to pay for it, I wouldn't. I wouldn't pay for it even if the product contained information about ALL of the topics listed above
