Steel wool light painting is one of the most rewarding forms of light painting. It’s fun to make (anyone said playing with fire), easy to plan and results are spectacular.
I thought it would be fun to host Ben at the DIYP studio and do a walkthrough of a steel wool light painting shoot we did while he was visiting here.

It only takes a few things to get a steel wool light painting session together: A metal whisk, some steel wool, a chain and a 9V battery.
It took Ben and me about 30 minutes of shopping from when we decided to head out till we had all we needed. Of course, we had the most important thing, a location, already in mind.
It has to be an isolated place, preferably with dump ground, as spark will fly, and you don’t want to set anything on fire. Bring a wet blanket and a fire extinguisher just in case.
In addition to a camera, you would only need a tripod and maybe a flash light.
