Behind The Lens

Location

Edmonton, Alberta

Time

11 p.m.

Lighting

Looking exposure was used for this effect. We placed steel wool in a whisk and tired the whisk to rope, then lit the steel wool on fire and spun the whisk around.

Equipment

Nikon D3000 and a tripod

Inspiration

My friend actually was inspired to try this and asked me if I wanted to be involved. It sounded fun so we went for it.

Editing

None.

In my camera bag

I always have my Nikon d7100 and d3000, my tripod, a reflector, a Nikon speedlight and a Gary Fong light sphere.

Feedback

Consider for safety when doing photos like this. We went to a wet marsh to make sure we wouldn't start a fire. We also had buckets of what on hand just in case.
