I was experimenting with long exposure photography in my bedroom when I made this. It was actually an accident. I was moving a lighter around my shoes just to light them up, when I realized that the flame got in parts of the photo. But it seemed to add a nice touch to the photo in general so I kept it.

In my bedroom, no crazy setups.Time
A pretty average time actually, about 3PM but I had closed the windows and blocked out any possible light.Lighting
I just used a lighter. How much more basic can you get?Equipment
This was shot on a Nikon D3100 with a 18-55 mm lens and a lighter.Inspiration
I was just experimenting with long exposure photography in my room and just got really lucky. Multiple attempts after this photo was taken and I couldn't replicate it.Editing
Not much, just opened the photo in Photoshop and added a bit of contrast and reduced some noise.In my camera bag
Some pretty basic stuff, just a Nikon D3100 and a 50mm 1.8 lens.Feedback
Just experiment. Take your camera and just go out, or don't and stay in your bedroom like I did. But the point is if you experiment you allow yourself to learn and practice that specific type of photography allowing you to master it.
