1. Remember to put the watch in a dark box or take photos in a dark room
2. Do not use flash light

I took mine with a dslr ... guess for digi cam you set to auto, it should automatically set the correct setting to take the lume shot ...

For my dslr, i did it using the following

- try to set to a smaller f number (mine was set to f29 and exposure time was 25 seconds giving enough time to exposure the lume shot) .. use tripod ... ensure surrounding lighting level are relatively low ... i took one ... see the setting on my slr..

I am also new at photo taking (3 months lol) ... appreciate correction and comment from gurus here if i go wrong .. thx ..:)

For a P&N digicam, if you set auto and disarmed the flash, sometimes it would not work.
I tried doing that and it doesn't work. Gotta wait till this weekend and try using a dslr.

Wow, I am planning to buy DSLR. Any recommendation for the price range of RM15000-20000 include lense? I am actually waiting for the new DSLR from either Canon or Nikon.

If you have RM15-20k to burn and you don't know what to buy??? Don't tell me you are buying them for the lume shots!  There are so many combinations and options that no one can suggest to you without knowing what they are going to be used for.  Well, the budget is not enough even for a Leica M9.  However, You can get a Canon 1D and 16-35L and that's all.  You can also buy the cheapest body and get a bunch of good lenses, tripod and/or flash.

Of course I am not sure what to buy. I am not an expert in DSLR although I owned and use the old film SLR. That piece of antique are kept for 10 years already.

Some shop owners tell me that I need to allocated RM15K - 20K if I really want to play around with the DSLR. Thats why I taught I need to spend that much....

REally thanks for your advice bro.

Hello Patek,
Me too was into SLR previously before the dSLR revolution.
Still have one or two lenses from the SLR era and am still shooting in film, but once in a while.
For daily normal shooting, I use my trusty "old" P&S.

I took my lume shots with my DSLR, putting in M (manual) mode, set the aperture to the widest if possible, and adjust the shutter speed manually. It's good to have tripod and a remote shutter release to avoid excessive movement when pressing the shutter trigger. If you want to shoot without remote shutter release, use timer then. For best picture quality, set the ISO to the lowest possible.

Current DSLRs with Live View is much easier to shoot as you can adjust the exposure on-the-fly.

My humble advice... ;)
