I need to take a pic of glowing eyes...

May 9, 2006

    1. Hi everyone...i need assistance....

      I have recently sculpted glow in the dark eyeballs for BJD's....

      the plain doll just wearing the eyes is no problem....

      But i also need a picture of the eyes glowing....So i hold the doll up to the light, get them nice and bright, dim the lights, and when i try to take the pic, NOTHING....TOO dark.....so then i leave the lights on, but shadow the eyes a little, so you can see them glowing.....now it's too close and blurry...

      what do i do???

    3. Take a longer exposure. Can you set your timer for a few seconds? 5? 10?

      Try this:
      a) set up the camera.
      b) dim the lights
      c) use a flashlight to get the glow-in-the dark effect
      d) turn off flash light and press the shutter for the exposed time
