I tend to always have a shoot planned, and end up doing something different. This night was originally going to be shooting stars in the sky, however the sky wasn’t clear enough, and the first location in mind, was locked at night, thank god for a plan B.

So for anyone who is wondering how this picture is achieved. Spinning a whisk with burning wire wool inside creates the sparks. Capturing a long exposure creates the lines as the sparks fly. I was really happy with this shot; I told mark to spin slightly while he was spinning the whisk, which creates the ball of light. Mark is a burning fireball whisk swinger professional. Really pleased with the tones of the image, the way the sparks light the metal bridge, and the smooth glow of the light pollution in the background. Enough of what I think drop me a message and tell me what you think.
