25 Spinning Long Exposure Photos to Leave You Breathless

Adventurous photographers on Instagram often capture gorgeous circular streaks of golden light -- otherwise known as steel wool spinning.

The process behind these shimmering photographs requires the photographer to set fire to a tuft of steel wool tucked inside a wire whisk attached to a long, thick wire. If you swing the flaming wool in circles before a camera set for long exposure photography, the resulting images show dazzling bursts of light in otherwise darkened settings.

It's a risky but exciting way to create offbeat images that will grab your followers' attention. Treat your eyes to 25 fiery steel wool long exposure photos on Instagram.
