A big thanks to all current and future patrons who are helping fund this science and filmmaking outreach via Patreon: http://bit.ly/2Sfmkph Don’t forget to follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/untamedscience/ Jonas and I were part of a really cool GoPro video where we spun steel wool at the US National Whitewater Center. It turned out pretty cool. Here is that video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvU3SeVd-bM This video is a quick tutorial about how we got those shots and how to work through your GoPro to get the right settings. The gist is that you'll probably want to set it to a night-lapse, taking continuous shots the entire time from when you start the steel wool on fire to when you finally stop it. If you set it to 2-second exposures we find the steel wool looks quite nice. However, you can definitely play with that setting. We have some nice shots on 30 second exposures. Also, we recommend: Protunes ON ISO: 100 Sharpness: Medium Good luck taking your steel wool shots, or any other night photographs with your GoPro. Also, be very careful and bring all the appropriate safety gear. You wouldn't want to start anything on fire - including yourself. Also of note, we did get permission from the USNWC to do this. I would recommend always doing that. It's the nice thing to do.
