 Firewire is made by tying steel wool to the end of a metal cord, lighting it on fire, and spinning it really fast. Amazing amounts of hot sparks will fly from it. Just watch that you don't burn your hair.

This was also the first day with my new D200. Amazing camera, and I'm looking forward to more photos with it. One frustrating thing, though, is the increased megapixels. Great for enlargements, but it was a pain in the butt getting this file down below 150kb, and still maintaining picture quality.

Very cool, all those sparks really make this image, it would not be as good with just the ring of fire.

Nice idea. I would like to see the ring centered or moved more to one side. Otherwise this is a nice shot.
