Parabolic fire - lightpainting with steel wool and a camera rotation device

Quite a few people spin copious amounts of burning steel wool and end up with shot after shot of pretty much the same thing so trying to be different I used a camera rotation device to turn the world on it's head...

![Parabolic-Fire-rfs.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbABQXyN3sAJE2N3piSNjLA9vksN99uVT8RZLH4q7eGsV/Parabolic-Fire-rfs.jpg)

For this shot, @fadetoblack kindly posed in front of a Godox strobe to illuminate the scene and keep up his reputation for being the most silhouetted lightpainter on the planet.  He spun a drill loaded with steel wool and once the sparks were spent, I capped the lens without ending the exposure and rotated the camera 180 degrees.  Tim then reloaded with more steel wool, replicated the same arm angle for a bit of OCD symmetry and spun more sparks.  Ended the exposure, job done.

This shot was created in one photographic exposure and is not a Photoshop creation. Here I've used a Sony A7 full frame camera with a Sony 16-35mm lens at 35mm.

About me: I usually specialise in shooting lightpainting images but occasionally dabble in urbex and artistic model photography. I'm always on the lookout for someone to collaborate with; please don't hesitate to get in touch if you'd like to create art.

Thanks mate, we generally make it up as we go along.  When we click the shutter from one attempt trying one thing, we might see another alternative and shoot that. It's like a design collaboration
