Spin at Lido Park Droitwich

[Dan Cattermole]

Follow on from my previous post, this is what we got up to in dark hours.. spinning molten steel around the show. lol. I took loads of exposures at this park hoping to layer a few with mummies etc (which are currently on my camera) BUT, as it was approaching late o'clock and the shut down/pack up of kit was just about to commence, I thought right Curt, take this wool and spin it like a spinning maniac from spinsville!!!, and this was the result........ phew!!!! got something worth while. lol

Nice!
Droitwich lido eh .. used to go there when i was a small person ... loads of fun ... does it still open in the summer?

I like the idea of putting objects in the foreground to silhouette against the sparks.

If you did one where you couldn't see the 'wheel of fire' at all, but could see the sparks flying off the sides, that could be cool

Thats brilliant! Do you ever get questioned about what you are up to when you are out doing these shots?

 

[Hamish Gill]

we did when i was with him ... this chap shouted at us from beyond a fence

"OI what are you doing"
"taking photos mate"
"what the hell of"
"erm... a spinny thing"
"oh... well ... erm ... as long as your not on private land"
"we arent"
"oh, ok then"

and that was that

we did hear someone shout to "stop dicking around with fireworks" too ...

Nice one Dan. Another of my favourites. Like Chris, I like the 'behind the silhouette' approach.
