Must Take More Photos...
Unfortunately life seems to have gotten in the way of taking any decent photos recently, hopefully the weather will clear up over the next few days and either one night this week or next weekend I'll get out and see what I can find. Failing that I might dig out some gear to do something like smoke or water droplet photography.

Wire Wool
Last week I decided to take a little break from Stars and instead did some wire wool spinning with a friend, Lloyd, for those of you who don't know what I'm going on about watch this video from PhotoExremist.com and it explains things nicely.

I managed to get some wire wool from B&Q a few weeks ago for £3, and was a little worried as to how long it would last but as it turned out we had plenty and actually ended up breaking the whisk before we ran out of wool. A quick trip to a pound shop for a dog lead and an old whisk from home and all we needed was somewhere to go. Not far from where we live is some ruins next to a Church which would provide somewhere we could give things a spin.
After about an hour of spinning I managed to get a few shots I'm happy with, now we just need more wire wool and a new whisk and am sure we'll be doing more soon.
