Hot sparks!

I brought a first timer out for some star shooting.  The conditions were less than perfect so I thought I would show him a bit of light painting and wire wool spinning.  I asked him if I could throw a few sparks at him and offered a hat and gas mask for some protection.  He agreed but I do not think he was prepared for what I had in mind.   More shots after the jump...

He was definitely not prepared for this onslaught...

 

Stay tuned for a video tutorial that will show you exactly how to take shots like this.  Who would not want to cover their friends with molten steel sparks?
