Wire Wool Photography

This is a photograph that I used in my A level photography coursework looking at Light and motion. The photograph is a light drawing that was created by the use of wire wool. To create the photograph I had to put wire wool inside of a whisk and attach it to rope. I then lit the wire wool and span it in a circle which causes the wool to spark. I set a twenty second shutter speed on my camera which captures the sparks as streaks of light which creates the image that you can see above. I took this photograph with my Canon 700D DSLR camera.
