If you use a tripod and a remote/self-timer you can set the exposure for as long as you like and get some very interesting pictures (if your camera has a manual setting). I also use a fluorescent light to charge lume, but also augment with a UV clip light for some older watches which discharge quickly (the UV also brings our flouresccent colours). Some light in the room can give you a nice semi-lume effect, but darkness can make it really interesting:











In Photoshop (or whatever image s/w you use), utilise "Unsharp Mask" to bring out the lume. Experiment around, you'll get it in short order :cool:
