Who's going out tonight to try this lol *raises hand*!

As a professional full-time fire performer I highly advise to check out these tips before trying this! 1. Wear natural fiber clothing only(preferably a 100% cotton hoodie + pants + gloves would be ideal for protection). Anything synthetic(polyester, spandex, etc..) will melt to your skin. You want your clothing to burn in case of an incident so you can put it out if you happen to catch fire. 2. DO NOT do this in an area that can potentially catch on fire. Steel wool in particular burns very hot & will EASILY catch a wooden structure, dead leaves, etc... In Florida we've had several incidents from mishaps with steel wool. One of which burned down a historic landmark from the 1920s. 3. Bring an assistant who's job is specifically to watch for anything catching on fire. This person should have a towel in hand & preferably a fire extinguisher nearby in the event of emergency! 4. DO NOT attach the wisk to a Lanyard. Lanyards are often synthetic & can melt which will send your flaming steel wool flying potentially causing a fire or injury. Use a chain dog leash, or a fabric rated for high temperature use(Technora, Kevlar rope, etc.) That is all, Love your videos Pete! Keep it up.

Thanks for the feature Pete! Good thing we didn't light any fields on fire :P

I got to say my son got his short film selected he didn't got 1st but he came under top 5 all his happened because of u coz u helped him . Ur short film tutorials about a role and b role helped him so much plus holding a cam without shaking it was aswm coz he is doing it for the first time . As a father I want to thank u in helping my son .

There have been several locations damaged or destroyed by people using this or similar techniques. The Point Reyes boat in California, and the historic Monroe Station in Florida are a couple that pop into mind. Don't be one of those people starting a forest fire, burning down iconic locations, or damaging someone's property in the pursuit of likes on instagram. I even saw a guy light himself on fire by accident while doing steel wool photography, luckily he dropped to the ground and put it out pretty quick and didn't hurt himself too badly, but it can be dangerous. Be smart about where you do this. On top of that, at least to me, this technique fits best aesthetically in industrial/urban/man made environments dominated by asphalt/concrete/metal/glass which all happen to be much less likely to catch on fire as well. However, no matter where you do it, it wouldn't hurt to have a fire extinguisher on hand. At the end of the day, experiment and be creative, but do it in a way where you consider more than just the shot you want to get, and pay heed to the location itself and its surroundings, and those people who might come after you. tl;dr - don't be a dick.

You have a video for everything and i've always wanted to know how this was done. Thank you!!

That hat tease at the end was so good!

You're really a cool guy. Your friends and family are bless!

These are so sick! I've never even heard of this before but always wondered how to get these shots!

Man I have always wanted to learn how to do this! Thanks Peter!!!

Hey Peter, i'm really thankful for the knowledge you spread around in your channel, you made photography and making videos not only a source of pleasure but also a passion and a way of life. Keep going man.

I try new things all the time and it is just so much fun. Being in a genre where I'm kinda lost is always so exciting because I love learning new styles and just getting well rounded is gunna help any photographer in the business 🤙

Favorite KZfaqr 🙏 congrats on 1 million, well deserved!!! I started my Vlogs because of you and just hit 3600 subscribers 🔥 follow your dreams!!

Loved the video! 😊

ONE MILLION! Peter I love your work!!! You always help me when I want to try something new, and I'm so inspired by your content!! Thank you!

Appreciate the honesty about your creative process, effectiveness and value. Encouraging and real.

Great video Peter!!

Rigging this to the bottom of a drone like a Phantom 4, and then just hitting the YAW as fast as it can go, would probably be awesome. You would have it up in the air, but you would also get the red and green lights at the bottom of the Phantom to create lines because of the long exposure. Gonna give this a try, thanks fellas!

Outstanding as always Pete! Thank you

Thanks Guys! I am looking forward to leveling up my photography and videography skillz this year, after decades of just doing it for fun and exploration. I appreciate all the tricks and tips you share!

Just dont try this in any place that has a DRY SEASON!! Craziness happening in Portland ❤️🙏 BTW.. KILLER VIDEO PETER!! 🔥🔥

Be sure to set fire to whatever field or forest you are standing in, or whatever wooden landmark or historic building or boat you are standing on so that no one else can get a similar bangin' 'gram.

Peter man!! Thank you so much for everything.. You are the reason I am super pumped all the time shooting pictures and videos and pictures. BOOOM.

Can't wait to try this! Thanks for sharing your creativity with us!

Anyone else immediately stop what they are doing to watch the new Peter McKinnon video when they get the notification? Haha

Super cool!!

Oh YEAH ! I did some before and I do LOVE using steel wool to create impresive pictures!

That energy again👏 God Bless you!

DECK-Sterity. I see what you did there.

Great vid as always! I came across steel wool photography awhile back by through the music video for Sleeping At Last - Saturn. You should totally check it out, both the song and visuals are amazing!

This is awesome! Never even knew about this type of photography. Thank you Chris and Pete!

Chris had me cracking up! Great job, guys! Hope your hand heals well, Pete!

Never clicked so fast in my life

The bell went off. I know it's good

I would say..🔥🔥 Your Videos Have That *Quality* man.. _RESPECT_

Been doing these for a while super fun!!! Glad you finally got to try it out

Hey Pete, do you add some vignetting to your tutorials in post or is that just the way the lighting is in your office?

You can light fine steel wool with a 9v battery too. Might be easier to control that way.

It also diversifies your photography and makes you better

I used to shoot steel wool a bunch! Good tip I found along the way is if you ever lose or forget your lighter, you can ignite the steel wool by touching it with the connect-y bits of a 9v battery.
