@@thevisuallife any thoughts on my view on your Paris POV ?

[@maebironcapture]

Love your work man. Keep up!

[@thevisuallife]

Too kind, thank you mate!

[@paultrunfull3324]

Hi there, you can also use a 9v battery to light the steel wool. Touch the two terminals of the batt. on the steel wool it creates a circuit and lights the wool. Get 000 steel wool late will give better sparks. I also find that if you spin the whisk/wool at a med. speed that makes it last longer,hope this helps.

[@ecopier76]

Awesome video🔥 u can use a 9volt battery to light the steel wool.

[@Badger66]

Really nicely done mate! PP9 battery, 9V battery 🔋 works really well 👍👌

[@CODPLAYER-fm5fo]

I used a thicker steel whool so it doesn’t burn as fast and last a bit longer! Be careful it burns through shirts lol

[@capturesbydani809]

Oh so nice! What settings did you use for the photo of Sam?

[@polosport1978]

Hey there…. Great stuff with the steel wool…. First time I’ve seen you as I usually watch Sam 🤭….. Just wondering what were your settings for these….? All the best. Rich 📸

[@thevisuallife]

Hey Rich, thanks for checking out the video. Settings wise it was a shutter speed of around 8-13 seconds and then an aperture of roughly F11

[@polosport1978]

Lovely much appreciated Oscar… Keep up the good work 📸✌🏻

[@dsphotolog]

Cool video 🔥 I just subscribed. I’d love to see how you combined the two photos in photoshop on that first shot.

[@thevisuallife]

Hey Dennis, thank you mate! I’ll definitely make sure to incorporate more editing parts in future videos👊🏻

[@rrrosecarbinela]

A nine volt battery will light up the steel wool quite well. Congrats on a great shoot.

[@JamesParsons1]

The second location is the City of Londons Rubbish processing plant, surprised you didn't mention how much it stinks ahaha

[@rohityadaveditz3286]

Hi 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️

[@JohannesS]

Life hack for steel wool spinning: You can also ignite the super-fine steel wool with a 9 volt battery. 👍🏼
