This is another really cool thing to photograph, Steel Wool Twirling. Again you will need a tripod to take this image as it is a timed exposure. Settings I used for this image were f/7.1, Shutter speed 20secs., ISO 100, White Balance-Tungsten. To do Steel Wool Twirling purchase yourself a metal kitchen whisk, fine grade steel wool (we got ours from Bunnings) pack the steel wool into the kitchen whisk. tie a length of rope onto the whisk the required length to be able to swing the whisk in a circular pattern, (Many patterns can be used) Ignite the steel wool and spin. The spinner will need to wear protective clothing, sunglasses and closed in shoes. If shooting in a rural setting make sure to have a fire extinguisher handy incase of spot fires. Very cool to photograph :)
