I'm still really loving light room. Terrifyingly, I think I'm going to move my whole Aperture library, thousands of photographs, to light room. I think I'm going to need the whole weekend to do it. I'm dreading it. But it will be fantastic to use this far superior software for my future photo fun.
This week's Trevor Carpenter Photo Challenge provided a new opportunity to exercise my creative chops! This is a new concept to me, and though I have no idea how photoelasticity works technically, it was super fun to play with! I used the exact setup as the YouTube tutorial video from ExpertPhotography.com, with a full white screen on my laptop and turning the laptop sideways for a vertical shot. For most of my shots I used a large sheet of crumpled cellophane-type packaging paper over the laptop screen. I found I could have some control over the direction of the colors by moving the paper in different positions, sometimes handholding to get the folds to hit where I wanted them.
For this image, I placed a snow globe on the bottom of a clear glass flower vase turned upside down. The colors of the crumpled paper also show through the glass of the vase pedestal and the snow globe, silhouetting the "mountains" of the snow globe scene. Then I took the photo into Photoshop's neural filters and used the "style transfer" filter, which made the colors more dramatic and less primary than the original photo.

January 26, 2013 I should have been outside photographing the beautiful snow that fell yesterday, but the sub-freezing temps just convinced me to stay put. I saw this technique called the Harris Shutter effect and had to try it. It's pretty cool.

We call it Sparkles, so call it RAINING SPARKS. We only do this in the cooler months. Mostly my hubby and I choose a secluded beach, but I have also gone along to some of the VPC event in buildings and at Lilydale Lake in Vic, Aust.
Steelwool spinning is achieved by using a variation of light painting using “steel wool”. Experimenting with steel wool is an interesting experience and can give you stunning images.
This technique does not require an expensive setup or pricey gear, which is great news for many photographers.
Let’s begin with the equipment list.
Equipment List:
1. Camera and lens
2. A steady tripod and shutter cable
3. A dark location
4. Steel wool
5. chain (dog lead will work)
6. Stainless steel whisk (DO NOT use silicon)
7. Protective gloves
8. Lighter or a 9v battery.
9. A protective tin for the steel wool not being used while spinning

1. Camera and Lens
Much like other light painting photography, you do not need an expensive camera or lens for steel wool photography. All you need is a camera that you can set to manual mode and a lens of your choosing.
I prefer to use a wide-angle lens as it can make my photos appear closer and more unique.
2. A Steady Tripod and Shutter Cable
Just like long-exposure photography, steel wool photography needs a steady tripod to enable your camera to remain steady while exposing. This limits any chance of getting a blurry image.
You will also need a shutter cable to prevent the camera from shaking. A self-timer would also suffice.
3. A Dark Location
To photograph spinning steel wool, a dark location is required to allow for a long exposure time.
4. Steel Wool
There are many grades of steel wool, but I recommend using grade 0 for this kind of photography. You can purchase this from a hardware store
5. String or Chain
String is used to spin the steel wool, I would recommend the string to be 1 – 1.5m long. You can also use a dog chain.
6. Stainless Steel Whisk (DO NOT use silicone)
The cage of a whisk is used to hold the steel wool. Use the hook at the top of the handle to tie the string to.
Pack the wool loosely in to the whisk to allow oxygen to flow in and accelerate the burn. This is assisted by choosing a finer steel wool, such as grade 0.
7. Protective Gloves
Steel wool can be sharp. Wear protective gloves to protect your hands from getting cut while handling the steel wool.
8. Lighter
For lighting the steel wool. You can also use a 9v battery and just run that just over the steel wool to light it .
Please note: Steel wool will reach high temperatures when lit. DO NOT use a silicone whisk as it will melt.
Safety Precautions
Capturing these types of images can be extremely dangerous. Spinning steel wool that is lit can cause sparks to spray out and could cause harm to yourself, your equipment and others.
Equipment Checks and Considerations
Ensure that your whisk and string are tied sufficiently to limit accidents.
Never use this technique around combustible items like fuel, oil, cars, etc.
Wear long sleeves and protective gloves.
Only practice this technique in a safe, secluded area, away from the general public.
Put a protective filter on your lens if you are using your camera in close proximity to the lit steel wool. The heat can cause fire stretch which is expensive to repair.
Ensure that all fire is out before leaving your location. I recommend that you remain at the scene for at least 10 minutes to be sure.
Limit your risk of causing an accident by using this technique after rain or near water (like a beach). Dry days in grassed surroundings increase your risk of starting a fire.
Camera Setup
First, set up your camera on the tripod and compose the image. You can use a small torch to visualize where the steel wool will be spinning.
Set your camera to aperture priority mode and manual focus. You can focus with the help of a torch. Set ISO to 100 and aperture to f8 to f11 and then meter the scene.
A whisk of steel wool will burn for around 10 seconds. You need to have at least 5 seconds of exposure time to capture the spinning motion.
Set the white balance to auto or tungsten if you are shooting jpeg. I shoot raw and do this later. .
Take a test shot to see how the background looks. I prefer 1 to 2 stops dimmer than normal exposure because the burning steel wool will brighten up the environment.
If everything looks good, switch to manual mode and copy the metered setting.
ight up the steel wool and start spinning. I normally release the shutter while I start spinning the steel wool for 1 lab. You can experiment with other timings for releasing the shutter.
Spinning Techniques
Once you have set up your camera correctly, you can start spinning wool. Different spinning will offer you a different image. Below are a few techniques that I have learned from my experience.
Vertical Spinning
Spinning vertically will give you a nice fire circle with sparks flying out beautifully.
Horizontal Spinning
Horizontal spinning will make the sparks feel much closer. The sparks flying towards the camera will create a line of attention.
Spinning while you Walk
When you spin while walking, you will get vortex-like images. This spinning technique is particularly effective with a dark background.
