I was thinking of using my garage and just playing with a glow stick.

I have the gear listed below.

Any suggestions on what to do as a quick start in terms of aperture, shutter, etc.? Iso?

Thanks

Here's a link with examples. http://www.toxel.com …ive-light-writing-videos/ (external link)

Bulb mode in pitch darkness, stop when you are done with the "writing" part. Largest aperture provided you do not get any more details from the garage so this will mean some trial and error. Sorry if this was nothing new.
