That's awesome man! how did you get a shot of it glowing?
Because the glow-in-the-dark is a fairly low-intensity light source for the camera sensor, you will need longer exposure and/or greater aperture (smaller f-stop). This can be achieved by lowering your shutter speed (slow speed = longer time interval for camera shutter to be open).
Lowering the shutter speed will unfortunately make your camera more susceptible to motion blur, so it's important to stabilize it using tools, such as a tripod. In my case, I don't have a tripod handy (just yet), so I had to steady my hand for this shoot.
As you can tell from the photo's relatively short DoF (depth of field), I increased my aperture size (something around f/3.2) for the photo.
Cheers!
