Raining Fire

Under the bridge, with a whisk, a dog-lead, some steel wool... and a lighter!

Good fun, but to my eye the subject would benefit from more space all-around and straightening (looks to be 'leaning' to the right of the frame?)

Thanks, Ian.
I think you're right about the leaning.
Here's a wider view from another shot - there's a bush on the right and if you look carefully you can see the fire extinguisher on the left!

Like this a lot (saw it on tipf too). There's a group of fire dancers who practice on the beach near me every week in the summer; I'm hoping to get down there with my camera soon

Did this some years back, also did the "ball" as well. Great fun and nicely done Gareth. Tried a few other things like a light stick, and a reflective ball with a light on camera, neither were that great if I'm honest. Did get good results with battery Christmas lights bundled up and spun, the different colours looked quite good.
The wire wool also works well over water, the reflections can work.

Thanks, Wayne.
We tried a light sabre too... I'll post one of that later.
