Playing with fire/light

More of my learning curve here - but in the two with flashlights, I was happy to get my faint Big Dipper to show above the rock to add a bit of gravitas to the silliness. In the full white lined one, in the lower right you can see the lower legs and feet of the runner. More continuous light; more detail. In the second, I did not get my click in time to get the first half, but still love it as an early work in progress. :-D Those are at Cannon Beach.

The third shot, at Cape Arago, is the result of steel wool lightly packed in a kitchen whisk, ignited, then spun around on a rope. Way too much Fun With Fire For Adults - although I suspect this will give me cred with my grandsons!

See feet lower left...

The light magically appears from late click

Yeah, but I was still not framed up and still trying to get the hang of the longer exposure, so it is a bit beginner-ish. Faults, but fun.

Steel wool and a nine volt battery will burst into flame on contact!

Yes, the settings were the same for this as for the stars. I did do a 30 second one, but got trails. I'll go for a l o n g exposure later on this trip.
