I take it that you have to spin these things really hard to get the effect??? i was wondering about putting these cages on the ends of a stick and making a staff for them??? has anyone tried this yet??? was the outcome lame or deadly???



i dont think its quite as good personally. to me it just feels more dangerous. dont know why.

Anyone else think this thread should be auto linked to 'Wire wool', 'wirewool', in the same way as the safety one for Fire Breathing ?

I think the world might be a slightly better,safer place that way

as many as they care to implement, I hadn't seen the term 'sparkly poi' before today.

sparkly poi
Steel wool
Wire wool
wirewool
sparkler poi

would be a reasonable list to catch most threads that end up on the subject and help make the readers more aware of things ?

Hmm,
The term "Sparkly poi" may also include titanium flake spiked poi or other types of sparking additives, so the idea of a context filter might be a bit restrictive in this case.

I dont think that very many color changing chemicals are going to work like they would with poi, you might be able to see them burn off in the cage and thats about it..

The one under the bridge where the sparks hitting the wall make a frame is very cool, havn't seen that before, nice pic.

Are you shooting analog? or what kind of digital to get decent IQ at A3?

and good luck selling them!
(I'm broke, been trying to sell some of my favourite pics for months, no takers :/ )

Im using a digital. Much better when you can see what your getting straight away - instead of waiting for them to be processed! :-)

'and there for sale! :/'
I'm not forcing you to buy them! Just thought you might like to look at them as they are related to this thread.....

I'm resurrecting an old thread as I stumbled upon some great pictures of vast amounts of sparkly goodness!

Photos 3,4 & 5 from The Big Picture are from the Lantern Festival in Nuanquan, China.

This can be done with a staff, and looks fantastic.
