Ring of Fire

Hi everyone, this is my first thread so go easy
I don't have any misgivings that this technique is 'new' in any way, but it is something I thought of trying without having seen it somewhere else first.
It was really just to see how it would look...
basically the idea was a slow shutter shot with a sparkler moving around a subject.
No post production, but might be worth removing that white tower with PS - it was preventing a street light from over exposing the shot.

F/13
ISO 100
shutter 30sec (with a 20s delay to run and light a sparkler )

3 or 4 times - had two sparkers in my hand.

I want to try this again, but with a more interesting subject and background...

Thanks, Angelb

yeah, first learned of "painting with light" on the cover of MiniWorld magazine a few years back and eventually tried it myself (in my flickr stream)
