12-08-05 IWSSB Ko Olina Light Play

When we first began planning this outing, Marshall posted a picture he took of himself spinning steel wool.  Well we just had to do this so...




He started us off by being the first "spinner".  Marshal began by shining a flashlight on himself so we could get a focus lock then he'd start spinning.  It's as spectacular to see as it is to photograph.


It even looks great in black & white.


Soon we tired of the vertical spin so Marshall did a horizontal spin.


This is near the end before the steel wool stopped throwing out sparks.


Booker brought some colored flashlights that were long like chemical light sticks...we spun those too.


Gaining a focus lock on Marshall.  That's the breakwater behind him and he's standing in a foot or two of water...about 5 feet off shore.


Getting a bit more creative.


Another horizontal spin.


This is the end of a burn.  The bright streak hitting the water is the steel wool being dunked to be sure it's out.  There's a really cool "whooshing" sound when you put the still burning steel wool into the water.
