Thanks mate. Another really fun & easy light painting trick is steel wool spinning:
<http://www.flickr.com/photos/disavage/6207767624> <http://www.flickr.com/photos/disavage/6210940906> Get a big roll of steel wool from the hardware store (the kind of stuff used for polishing wood), make up an oversize berley cage from a wire coat hanger, attach it to a dog leash. Load up the cage with the wool (about a 12" length), light it & start spinning. Heaps of fun. Just make sure you wear a hat. I didn't initially and the first indication that something wasn't quite right was when I could smell burning hair...followed by the sting of hot metal on my scalp :-) DS On 10 October 2011 20:56, Cotty <[email protected]> wrote: > On 9/10/11, David Savage, discombobulated, unleashed: > >>For those who don't want to give their grey matter a workout: >> > > <http://lightpaintingphotography.com/light-painting-photography/chris- > benbow-light-painting-dome-video-tutorial/> > > Thanks mate - I knew it was something circular - but I was only thin > king in 2 planes!
