Nice one, but I wonder, did you get the inspiration from my picture?

Nicely composed, I like the "wide angle" approach of it. My guess is you used steel wool, with all the sparks flying around everywhere?

Amazing! What makes steel wool such a good material for light paint? :3

Might be because it's unusual and unpredictable.
Maybe also because of the tiny glowing embers that come off it when you spin it real fast.

I just think it's awesome!

I would've been scared to death that they would hit my camera and murder it. o.o I like the "in your face" thing though. it's like.. AAAHHHHHH FIRE

I love how it looks so much more wild than other light paintings - brilliant pic!

Thank you.

I was trying to do something new compared to what the others who do light painting does.
They mostly stand still while I tried to move while spinning which I found out was quite difficult and kinda scary - I almost hit myself with the burning steel wool sometimes.

I also tried to move as close to the camera as I felt comfortable.
I feel it really draws the viewer into the photo, and it seems much more "in your face" when I went so close.

Jeg liker hvordan man faktisk kan se flammene c:
Mange andre bilder av samme typen blir mer sånn "dette er masse uklare streker med lys"-aktige x)

Tusen takk.

Prøver å gjøre noe nytt i forhold til det de andre gjør, der de stort sett står stille og spinner med flamme/stålull.

Er ganske så skummelt å leke med ild så nære et splitter nytt kamera òg.
Skummelt å "leke" seg med brennende stålull òg.

I høyeste grad "don't try this at home", selv om det virker kult.
