This is my first time joining the Steemit Photo Challenge. The #SteemitPhotoChallenge is organized every week by Hive account@jamtaylor - you can follow him to see the topic he chooses and read all the updates. All submitted photos, rules and current theme is also available on http://www.steemitphotochallenge.com/

This week the challenge is Long Exposure and as my first entry I've decided to choose one of my photos that I shoot with my friend Karel (not Steemian yet though 😞). It uses steel wool, which is really fun to do! It's best to be at least 2 person to get cool shots and to have some fun as well.

The photo I am selecting for the competition is this:

The Golden Rain

I call it the Golden Rain because it does not have the typical steel wool orb. I put the camera low to the ground and rotate the steel wool behind the camera, resulting in only capturing the rain. I've used Canon 50D with Canon 24-70mm L lens and the settings were ISO 100, f11, time 32s.

If you'd like to see more of my steel wool shots, you can check my Flickr album.
