I have to admit, I do like creating smoke and fire and sparks! In the safest of ways though. So last night we headed out to an abandoned warehouse that was relatively clean and did some lightpainting.
From my design days, whether it's a sketch sheet or an image, I like to fill the page and the first image does just that. Credit to 
Next we have the shot I went with in mind, which was a straightforward spin and try to show the scale of the location.
This one didn't go quite so as planned. I had to buy medium grade wire wool; which wouldn't burn!
I also bought 9 litres of water to put on the floor to create a puddle and a reflection.. That went straight to mud!
And once the spin was over I hastily had to put out a piece of rubbish that caught off fire!
But I do like the finished shot and the smooth curve a random chunk takes off to the left as I continue to spin..
Finally from last night, and not a sparky shot, the structure I was stood in made a natural square which gave me the idea to rotate this with a blue and orange gel...
Looking through my feed it's been a while since I've done anyway wire wool spinning, but below are some previous examples from the years..
As a photographer I try to mix what I do in my shots, I've done still life, some macro work, lightpainting and I enjoy a good model shoot. If you'd like to check out any of my other work I'm on Facebook, or you can find me on Instagram under neilru75
Thanks very much for looking
Kind Regards, Neil
