Fire Spinning

Our photography meetup group arranged for a fire spinner to come to our last meetup. These are the best shots I got. We had to have somewhat long exposure, tripods and shutter release. I do like the effect though!

Very nice. It can be tough getting a good shot of something like that. Good job!
You can attach a piece of steel wool to something (rope, stick, et.), light it, and then spin it around.

I think they're great! I especially like the third one. The spinner is framed almost perfectly by the solid line, with only a few, little sparks appearing inside the circle.
