Hello everyone! I tried some steel wool stuff yesterday.
I put the camera on a tripod, 12s timer, 20s exposure, ISO 100 and f/8.
This was my first try, I didn't have a whisk so halfway through the exposure the steel wool came off the string it was attached to it and I was a little close to the camera and the circle wasn't as uniform as I wanted it but I like it. And it was snowing so there is a little fogging in the corners.
I almost panicked when I tried to light the steel wool with a 9V as the battery was empty but then I lighted it with a lighter.

And thanks to Photo Extremist for the video , check it out


Cheers

PS I shall try more today when I get home and when it gets dark.

Sorry, but how did you get the wool to light up again?

It just fell on the ground.
And the cord actually burned because it was flammable.
I better use steel or chain and a whisk next time.
