Day #2
: Splash Shot. 

Examples:  SPLASH II by Shoayb Freedom by hammo 
Camera setting for splash: F/5.6 if you're zoom in ( better to be away from the object and zoom in) ISO 250 (start with 250 and increase a little bit if the shot was dark) shutter-speed start with 1/300 sec and increase till you got the shot, manual focus ( set the focus on the subject before shooting, Flash off.
If you're a user of Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop use the RAW shooting (not JEPG) gives you flexibility with editing.

Suggested Equipment:

Day #4
: Light Painting Shot.
Examples:
Light Painting by Wesche  Profile Painting by Coltography <da:thumb id="162258901"/>

Camera settings : shutter-speed 1/6" sec ( depends on time you need to paint, and slower is better) Aperture between F/11-16 to be sure your light is in focus, ISO 100 ( because the room would be dark and the shot better be without noise ) manual focus ( because auto focus may struggle, so manual focus is usually a good choice) Flash Off 
Suggested equipment: 
Indoor or outdoor shooting : shooting at night or dark room. Light source to paint with, such as a torch, flashlight, glowstick or even a torch app on a smart phone. A tripod or something to put your camera upon.
