Fire Dancing - 2
by RocketTom

After the folks around me got tired of the flash I was using, I decided to shoot as much as I could with just the available light. Here they added some white spark, so it helped to illuminate the subject.

We have both freeze as well as lots of motion here. I like the play between the lights and shadows on the face of the performer. Fire and sparks are awesome!

Really like this one. Love the crispness of the fire, and the motion of the girl.

I like the energy of this and the warmer colours obtained through not using the flash. I am
a sucker for firework shots so I am looking forward to seeing more of your work!

Excellent. I prefer this one also.
Higher contrast for fire and color.
The verticle lines and artist looking up works great.

Hi Tom,

Despite the previous one has great motion trails, this is my favorite of your set. I really like how it is compsed, and how the sparkle are the focus of the photo. Very well done

Nice captured Tom! There is a lot of action in this picture, and the sparks are great! Don't be sorry you couldn't use your flash ;-)
Cheers, Markus
