I was up in northern MN hoping for Northern Lights. That was a bust. But when a bunch of needy photogs get together, we can figure something out. I had never done this before, had no idea what it was all about. Went to a quick class on what was going to happen. Thought these folks were crazy. Had the absolute best time. I am not sure I did the best job I could have done, but I blame it on not knowing what I didn't know. Again, what a blast and want to do this again and again.
If anyone has pointers on how to do the photography part better please let me know.

I love light painting with burning steel wool. These are great pictures. The cliff and the angles are unique. All photos I have seen are pretty straight on. I want to be there for the next shoot.
Since it takes about 30 seconds for the steel wool to burn, you have your exposure time. Since you are far enough away to not get burned, you have your focus distance. There really isn't anything else, but to open it up and shoot. I find that using an illuminated dog leash adds some additional fun, and color, to the shots as well.

Thanks for the links, Douglass. I was thinking more literally since we have alpaca and some llama in the backyard.
So you can understand the question marks associated with burning something that could bring in $2-5 per ounce. :thumbup:

Look good to me. I have done some pictures of spinning wool with friends and the first time they did it they were too close to the grass on the Towans and he to get the fire brigade out as they set it on fire.....
