Playing with Fire



Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Nikon 18 – 70 mm
f/6.7 at 1/45
ISO 800
SB600 Speedlight

After taking pictures of the motorcycle stunt riders I stumbled upon some street performers doing things with fire. By this time it was completely dark. These guys were up on a small stage lit by some spotlights.

Because of the distance from me to the subject, I chose to up the ISO to 800 and use my speedlight. This of course meant I have a final image with a lot of noise but at least I have a final image worth viewing.

I also did a few time exposures to capture the movement of the flames but I was not that satisfied with the results. I will attend again this year and I will try again.
