Flameing long exposure.

[mark]

Last friday night I was at a nine year old birthday party and as always with a party in Byron there is bound to be entertainment a bit out of the normal. At this event the entertainer was Kane a fire twirler and human flame thrower.
Here are a few of the fire twirling...... look out for the human flame thrower in part 2....





C & C welcome.

Very interesting Mark

[Geoff]

Mark - very cool.
What exposure times did u have on these?

[JordanP]

Love it Mark,

The first one stands out the most for me - I guess because it has a bit more space and less flame clutter in it.

Cool,

[mark]

Thanks Glen & Geoff.

Geoff - No1 was 6 sec @ f13 and No2 was 2.5sec @ f13.
The first one was as the flame was burning out, notice it held still. He was trying to blow it out. The second one was taken when the flame was burning brighter just after the kero was lit.

Cheers Craig.
Its was a bit of a lottery with them as sometimes he would twirl faster laying down more light. The first was my favorite of the series too.

Both are great.

I'd clone in some more black space at the top of the 1st though, seems very cramped up there.

Very interesting stuff...

Very creative!

[mark]

Thanks very much guys...
Pippin - I hadn't really thought about that, but I'll give it a try later on. Cheers.

Awesome stuff Mark. You've done a great job with the exposures. Part 2 looks terrific as well!
