This is how to do it:
Find a room that is very dark(when the light is off). I use my garage during the daytime.
- Use a tripod
- Set the camera to manual mode
- Set to auto focus and allow it to focus on the cards
- Once focused, switch to manual focus so it will not be confused by the black light (closer to camera) and the cards
- Lower the F-Stop to one setting above bulb
- Set the camera to 2 sec delay (pushing the shutter release can move the camera at this low shutter speed).
- Turn the overhead light off; turn the black light on (I hold the black light with my hand and intentionally include it in the photos). The focus is still on the cards because auto focus was turned off.
- Lower the shutter speed until the meter is centered.
- Gently press the shutter release and let go. The two second count down will begin and you will have your photo.
If any of this doesn't make sense, let me know and I'll explain further.

Thanks!
