Beautiful! What did you have to do to take these pictures? When I got LEDs a few weeks ago I wanted so badly to take pics with just the moonlights on, but none of my cameras could take a picture showing the actual fluorescent colors

Thank, guys. Believe it or not, ag09g, it's a cell phone camera pic, Iphone4. I just turned the flash off, and since the camera has a limited capability to adapt to the the weak light, pic came out okey. If you have an SLR, don't use auto exposure, as it will come out too light and you'll lose the fluorescence. You may have to bracket it with different aperture/speed settings, though, to get the right exposure.

No! I wish you hadn't said that haha. I have an iPhone too and my pics just come out blue, basically no color/fluorescence
My roommate has played around with the aperture settings on her camera with no luck. On my digital camera I was able to play with the white balance, I could end up getting fluorescence but had to sacrifice the blue :/
Anyway sorry to ramble! Great pics again!!
