Ben from Penwortham said: “During the Covid lockdown I found my photography hobby even more isolating than it already can be, so I reached out on Instagram in search of challenges.

“This is when I was invited to join the #Masked_Marauders challenge group  @Many_masked_marauders. It’s a collective of photography lovers from around the world who take part in group challenges along with other Instagram community challenges.”

He said: “The challenge theme varies from month to month. In August the theme was light painting, and this was when I became interested in trying out wire wool spinning.

“Using long exposure on my camera and spinning wire wool on fire created a circle of flying sparks, and I was able to achieve some great imagery.”
