Burning Steel Wool and Flash Photography Underground Tunnel

Use of burning steel wool and electronic flash to get spectacular photographs in a dark underground railway tunnel.

[@borderlands6606]

Full of admiration for your ability to juggle video, stills, two tripods, flash, naked flames, wire wool and keep talking through it all while alone in a dark tunnel.
