Canon EOS 50D, 10-22mm @10mm, 11 sec, f/8, ISO100

A long exposure captures my oldest daughter writing the word "love" using a sparkler.
We were out in a remote location, after shooting the sunset and doing some steel wool spinning, and the kids wanted to have some fun with sparklers.

Very nice effect, must be quite challenging to get a nice result like that, effectively drawing blind with invisible letters! How many takes did you need to pull this off?

@Richard: it really depends on how good the person holding the sparkler can write backwards in the air ;)

This particular photo only took a couple of attempts to get this result.
