    Hey. Excited about the workshop. Thanks for co-hosting again Scott!

    I have a question about light painting and steel wool photography for Scott. Anyone can else can reply too.

    My question is – which do you prefer and why? (If you had to choose one). Obviously steel wool is exciting and dramatic but light painting is beautiful too. Just curious your preference if you have one. šŸ™‚

      I like light painting, but I find steel wool fun to twirl! Each spin can be a bit different because you never know where the embers will bounce!

    Hi everybody, Ardian here, or as you now me, @aroundTO. This workshop is always fun. Took part last year and was awesome, Scott is great at spinning šŸ˜‰ but I doubt he’ll get in the water this time.

      Thanks for the comment and support Ardian. Scott is pretty handy with the steel wool techniques for sure! You’re right. May be too chilly to get in the water.

    Hello everybody, I am Rajib. I never had an opportunity to do steel wool photography. I am very excited for tomorrow, I checked the last meetup photos from different Instagram profiles, and those are awesome. I don’t have any Halloween props, but I do own two RGB light sticks, will carry them tomorrow, if we can plan some light painting photography also with steel wool.
