Here is one of the light painting we did at the Outer Banks before Sandy came. Jeff this is Not steel wool. Here are a few others.

Very cool, Beth! I like the first one and the flying disc one the best. How do they look cropped closer to the light?

The first one is my favorite too! I just love the flyaway hair like things on it. Do tell what you did. This is very unique...not something I've seen before. Your other shots seem a bit soft or too bright maybe that the details in the light are lost. Maybe a tighter crop on the first one would look nice? :~)

Very different than I have seen before. I too like the original post the best with the streamers coming off the light.

I agree with the suggestions of a tighter crop which would also do away with the light Rita mentioned.

Looks like you had some fun. The original post is my favorite as well. I love the fly away strands of light. And I agree, clone out the bits of light on the bottom left and you're good to go.

Fess up . . . what did you use to create these images?

I like "Stick Dancers" too. That one reminds me of Devin for some reason. :)

	Phinal edit Cropped tighter and tweaked a bit. Beth Spencer
	Swirls Here is a different one. Beth Spencer

Thanks everyone! I went back and worked on the first one, cropped it closer and tweaked a few other things.
Here is another one and not sure about the green smoke, should I leave it or try to make it dark?
These are fuses that go into fireworks. One of them Rocky added some chemicals and wrapped it again. Hopefully he will find some more colors for me. He said these don't throw as many sparks on him as the steel wool but they smell... Jeff if you are interested I can give you the website he gets this stuff at...
