    Default B&W Firedancer

    I tried capturing the performance of a Fire dancer at a birthday party.
    About 10 out of 200 shots turned out good. Not bad considering how fast that guy was moving. He was awesome.

    This one I didn't really like. Before dumping it I tried B&W and suddenly it transformed into something more, I didn't quite expect...

    What do you think? Any comments, tips, criticism welcome.

    cool image, If you ever have the chance to re-shoot you could try a 'second curtain sync' flash. (a flash at the end of the exposure) This should help freeze the movement of the dancer, whilst still getting the light streaks. A Tripod is also essential for long exposure... Love the dancers face across the light streak ...
