Photo Friday #023: Sparkler Inspired Yoopers

A few weeks ago we posted a photo where Bugsy wrote “Michigan” with a flashlight in front of the Mackinac Bridge. Our friends Holly and James have topped that.

They snapped these 4th of July themed photos at the Mackinac Bridge using sparklers. A much more interesting effect than a flashlight. While James is credited with the photo mastery, it was Holly who wrote Yooper.

If you’ve never tried photo likes these give it a shot. All you need is a tripod and a long exposure. Spelling words can get tricky as you have to write backwards and really plan the cropping of the photo as well as the shutter speed. However it’s always an interesting result.

Holly and James, thanks for the great photos!
