| Does anyone who takes photos a lot have any tips for glo? Cos you're right, they don't go bright enough on film, and it's a bit of a waste if you use an SLR where film is £1000000 per square. |

For glow photos, use a darkened area and expose for a short as time as possible. But dont expose for too short of a time. Oh and dont use flash. I always try to use a near pitch black room.
Also, film for SLRs doesnt cost more!  |

On my own cam I usually use a weak flash and a pretty low shutter speed, however my camera aint too happy about taking pictures in that low ISO and it all goes grainy :(
Guess it'll be a new camera on the wish list for myself, from myself.... but that'll have to wait |

Thats because its not exposed enough. Try exposing for longer, and turn the flash off! |

Turning down the ISO and then raising the expotion does make the trails better and so but then I get the problem of Foo long trails instead :P
I'm never satisfied must rob bank and get either a super camera or Laser Poi (Would be cool if there where such thing) :P |

| If its got a manual mode, change the shutter speed to about 1 seoond - 1.5 seconds and the apature to F.8. |

I usually have the shutter speed on 1-1.5 seconds on glo photos and 0.8 sec on fire.
However what is aparture, cant remember seeing this as an option, can it be called something else? |

| The apature is the size of the hole in the lens. f.2.8 is the biggest and f22 is usually the smallest depending on your cam. If you have a full manual mode, it should work. |
