Long Exposure steel wool on fire

I'm following up on something I posted a few days ago.
I didn't get the "ghost" effect because I was wearing all black like someone suggested.

Okay this is really crappy quality.. Not sure what went wrong in the uploading

Is there a question here?

I like the photo. How long was your exposure?

 

[andrew99]

Cool photo!

 

[Tiller]

Nice one! I always like the steel wool pics

I also don't see a question (although it is quite a cool photo)

It's cool, but why does everybody always just stand there and spin them? It doesn't make for very original photos.

I'd like to see one that uses a new or rarer method of flinging sparks.

Leaf blower?
Wool on a DC motor attached to a battery and thrown off a cliff or lifted with helium balloons (with long strings)?
Wool strapped into a whisk and attached to somebody's rear bicycle wheels and triggered electrically so that they can already be moving?

Etc.


Edit: Maybe I'll just do one of these actually. I already have some spare cowboystudios flash triggers that could be combined with an electric relay and used to remotely ignite steel wool......
