Thanks guys....Dan its actually pretty easy to do....all u need is super fine steel wool stuffed into a wisk or an egg beater....i clip the end to a dog leash...ignite the steel wool with a 9v battery...remotely open the shutter and then spin away...close the shutter just before stopping......simple as that...oh ya and wear dark clothes and a hoodie or a hat to keep your hair from catching on fire.....pretty simple....

That made me laugh. "Oh yeah, don't light yourself on fire"
