This is one of my favourite photos from a photowalk in South Fremantle last weekend.
This is a self-portrait as I'm standing on the rocks at the waters' edge. Despite what it looks like, I am not a smoker, and I'm not lighting up a cigarette. Instead, I am lighting up some steel wool to do some steel wool spinning.
This self-portait was an accidental one. As I was lighting the steel wool with a lighter, I must have accidentally triggered my camera via the Phottix Plato remote shutter release transmitter that I was also hoding in my hand.
On the horizon at the right hand side are the remnants of the cloud that some people thought was a meteor hitting the ocean.
