Fire, Sparks, Smoke...Show me what you've got

[Rachel Hope]

I saw a few Burning Steel Wool shots here lately so I talked a few fire dancers into putting on a show for me and my photog buddies. I would love to see what you've got in your project, give us a little "How I Did It" if you don't mind, as I am addicted and want more!!! :)

Here are two of mine from this weekend

Two Spinners with Burning Steel Wool, they were spinning in a tunnel, 5 feet away from each other, 10 feet from our cameras...


Fire Poi: 3 second Exposure, she was standing as still as she could while making her shape...

I did this one a while back, it was pretty fun!

[Leonie Mogridge]

The steel wool didn't work very well, this one was done with sparklers tied together

[Leonie Mogridge]

Hers a little bit of smoke. Took lots of lighting and blowing out to get the straight line that I was after

[Rachel Hope]

@peterdegraaff OH! Nice. Maybe I will start my next shoot earlier to capture that color!!! Thanks!

[Rachel Hope]

@grizzlysghost I remember that one! Was it a Bench Grinder???

[Rachel Hope]

@onie Sparklers tied together!!!! Oh My! Love the extra sparkle affect!
