Steel wool – light painting

The gang from Photographers of Wagga Wagga got together last night for an impromptu attempt at light painting with steel wool. We gathered right on on sunset and managed to get in a quick sunset shot.

From there, after a couple of practice efforts, it was now quite dark and then the real run started – and now for a tip – make sure you DO NOT hold the 9v battery in the same hand as the steel wool…..

However, the photo of the night belongs to CatsEyePhotography with this one:

So if you would like to know more about how to do this – there are plenty of sites out there, here is a pretty good one to check out: Steel wool
