   How to Photograph a Glitter Blow with a Canon Rebel and 50mm Lens

   Taking photographs of a glitter blow can be a fun and creative project. In this guide, we'll walk through the steps to capture stunning images using a Canon Rebel camera with a 50mm lens and an external flash.

   Gather Your Equipment

   • Canon Rebel camera

   • 50mm lens

   • External flash unit

   • Tripod (optional)

   • Glitter or other reflective material

   Set Up Your Camera

   1. Mount your camera on a tripod if you have one. This will help keep your camera steady and prevent blurry images.

   2. Attach the 50mm lens to your Canon Rebel camera.

   3. Turn on your camera and set it to manual mode. This will give you more control over the exposure settings.

   4. Set your ISO to a low value, around 100-400, to minimize noise in your images.

   5. Choose a wide aperture, like f/2.8 or f/4, to create a shallow depth of field and focus attention on your subject.

   6. Adjust your shutter speed to around 1/125 or 1/160 of a second to freeze the motion of the glitter.

   Use the External Flash

   1. Turn on your external flash and position it to the side of your camera, angled slightly towards your subject.

   2. Adjust the flash power to a medium or low setting, as you don't want to overpower the ambient light.

   3. Experiment with the flash position and power to achieve the desired lighting effect on the glitter.

   Capture the Glitter Blow

   1. Have your subject gently blow the glitter or reflective material into the air.

   2. Time your shutter press to capture the moment when the glitter is at its peak.

   3. Take several shots, adjusting your camera settings as needed to achieve the best results.

   Review and Refine

   1. Check your images on the camera's LCD screen to ensure you're capturing the desired effect.

   2. Adjust your camera settings, flash position, or subject placement as needed to improve the results.

   3. Experiment with different techniques, such as using a slower shutter speed to create a sense of motion, or a higher aperture to capture more of the scene in focus.

   Remember, photography is an art form, and it may take some practice to perfect your glitter blow technique. Have fun and be creative!
