Flying sparks


     Sparks create a very dramatic look on photos. A very easy way to get these sparks which are relatively save is to use steel wool that you place inside a whisk, attach it to a cable, light it and just start spinning it around to create your flying sparks.

    Here are a few examples of people who made the most of their sparks
