For a different type of Wednesday night some friends organised a small fire spinning in a special location in Sydney which I shall keep secret for now though I am sure that many of the light painting community know all about it. Due to the location being rather cramped they kept the event to a close knit group of friends and myself. I ended up, as I usually do when I’m with these guys, just watching the display and forgetting to take photos.<\/p>\n
Fire-spinning is one of the harder things I have tried to photograph. Trying to capture enough ambient light without over-exposing the fire is the hard part, plus you still want to be able to show a certain amount of movement of the spinning and not have them look too static. Add on to that the fact that the flames change in brightness according to fuel levels and it all gets rather confusing. Slowly I think I am getting my head around it though.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
