Tricks of the Light
by Liz Bickel

Back Lighting, Rim Lighting, Fire, and Action
**********************************************
Without the current DPF assignment, I would have chosen to shoot this scene at another time of day.
The back lighting was glaringly intense. Almost too intense. Just to "see" the performer, I had to shade my eyes with my hand.
However, I took that to be a challenge and carefully worked with camera angles to make the scene work.

This is magnificent. The flames are perfect, the smoke is really cool and you did a great job with the difficult lighting. Your work always astonishes me.

Impressive image, beautifully done, Liz. The flames look really cool, the rim lighting is super, and I especially love the places where the light is streaming through the smoke.
