Re: Fire Night!
Quite like #3 David. I wonder whether you tried any with slightly faster shutter so that the body is not blurred? Was flash used for this?
Re: Fire Night!
 I think #3 tells a great story.Ant. D90 | D50 | Tamron 17-50 2.8| AF-S 18-55 DX (and VR) | Sigma 70 - 300 APO DG | 50mm 1.8 | SB-600
Re: Fire Night!
Thanks guys
It's tough to balance. Without flash you miss the face completely. With shorter shutter speeds and flash, the blur is less but never really goes away (unless you freeze the action which deafeats the purpose:mrgreen:) 7D, 60D, 70-200mm f/4LIS, 17-50mm f/2.8, 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5, 50mm f/1.4, 100mm f/2.8 Macro, 580EX II
Re: Fire Night!
This is about the best I was able to get as far as freezing the body but still getting some fire:

Re: Fire Night!
I agree, this is a lot harder than it looks, even when you do get your settings correct, the whole scene can change in a second depending on where teh fire is being twirled. I found I nailed a few shots and tried these settings for the next artist but failed miserably, it was a constant process of shoot, change settings, shoot..etc... I like the third image, it shows the craziness of the fire and the disturbing flexibility of the performer... gerry's photography journey
No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.
Re: Fire Night!
#3 is great, good balance of lighting between the flash and fire and a great sense of movement. It really shows what she was capable of and create a beautiful effect at the same time.
#4 is great as well, I found it was really hard to get these types of shots where the face is nicely framed, so often the fire come screaming across and you get this headless body consumed by flames!
Re: Fire Night!
Yep now I realise. What we need is an adjustable knob for the ambient.
