Steel wool spinning

[Winso]

Seen plenty of other people doing this so decided to give it a go myself. It was actually surprisingly easy, just needed steel wool, and old whisk, some string and a bit of bravery.

I'm going to do it again sometime as this time was a bit of a learning experience. Spark technique is sorted, I just need to work on the overall composition.

Close. Long exposure not time lapse. But I'll give you a point anyway

Nice work.
This is another photographic experiment I need to try.

Fire and explosions are one of DannyP's strong points....
