We recommend 'baking' these photos for at least an 8 second shutter speed with a very low ISO and a dark environment. You move the camera to "spread, fold, chop, sprinkle and knead." You might also want to experiment using different white balance settings.
Find a piece of light
A crack around a door
a glint through a window --
it does not have to be large
as a little goes a long way
And remember each glimmer is different:
one can be smooth and limber
another sharp and brittle
Next hold that streak
then spread, fold, chop, sprinkle, knead
until the shutter closes
Then take a look,
take a bite
And go back and grab another piece of light
