UNLIKELY tools such as an egg whisk and dog lead were used to create stunning photographs at a Worcester landmark.

Photographer Nigel Wood, of Pershore, got creative at Diglis Footbridge to create stunning visual effects for his pictures.

Helping Mr Wood capture the stunning images were friends Dan Spencer, Emily Cawte and Chris Hermiston.

Mr Wood said: "The first of the images was created using 0 grade wire wool, stuffed into an egg whisk, tied to the end of a dog lead.

"I lit the wire wool with a 9v battery and span the lead, giving off the sparks.

"It's also important to have a couple of bottles of water and a torch - making sure there's no remaining burning embers before you leave the site.

Mr Wood explained all of the shots were captured using long exposure cameras, either a DSLR or a mirrorless camera on a tripod - with a five to eight second exposure used to capture all the light.
