The Human Firework

This is my first attempt at sparking. I got several metal whisks and filled them with wire wool. I lit them and spun them round on a length of rope. I had the camera on my new tripod and used a remote trigger to fire the camera. This shot was the best out of about 22.
Things I have learned. You need an assistant for this job. You need to choose somewhere non-flammable. Wire wool gets incredibly hot when it's burnt. It also burns very quickly.
It was great fun and I will have another go to see if I can get it with a wider angle.
