Description I cannot emphasize how fun this was.

Spun burning steel wool inside of a whisk attached to a wire cable.. SO MUCH FUN. And lots of pretty sparks!

I definitely want to play more with this. Only real problem is that I live in an awfully dry area. Headed to the beach tomorrow, though, so I'm going to try some there.

Before you worry about fire hazards, all precautions were taken.

I got the basic idea from this photo [link] by *darkHunTer2009 .

The technique I followed was from these videos [link] [link] , by ~Vlue

It really was so fun; I'd recommend trying it, if you ever get the chance. The tutorials I followed are in the link. It's surprisingly easy to do. I'd suggest having a friend or two with you to help with lighting the wool and adjusting the focus before the shot.
