Glowstick Tips (chemlight) - DPChallenge Forums

FYI:

Dont ever think about using glowsticks AKA Chemlights (those things that you crack and they glow) to use for human photography. They dont work out too well!!! Albeit, they say non-hazardous, I hope that there are no major lasting effects. Cause it freakin burns like a mother~~~~!!!! Probably not so much on the torso's skin, but on the head/face, it burns like crazy! No good!! So much for the light/dark challenge for me!

already getting tired of the smell... I am soooo glad that I never got a model to do my first idea!! I wouldve felt horrible if what happened to me happened to her!

Thanks for the tip, now you can change your user name to "burner0" : )

Guess you will have to go catch some real fireflies to get the glow juice that don't burn or stink.

Oww, that just sounds like it would burn. Sorry for your injuries. Did you get any photos out of it though? Would love to see them if you did!
