20110216- Fire and Ice ... an experiment

An Exploration of fire on ice, at night . . .

I had been wanting to try this in a 'safe' area since seeing examples on flickr ... no drainage pipe large enough to walk into around here, so I opted for 'out on the lake' . . .
basic info, steel wool, connected to a chain, start it burning, spin it around during a long exposure ... repeat ...

a few other photos here:

Very cool (so to speak). I like how simple/ dramatic your work is ... I live in a rainy place, I wonder what that will do to it :)?

@suzanguest as long as you keep the steel wool dry, it'll still burn and you won't have to worry as much about setting the landscape on fire!
