This photo is of my sister in law, Lucy, twirling flaming torches on the end of chains.
The photo was taken using a rear flash. This allowed capture of the movement of the flames, with the rear flash following to freeze Lucy's dance. I quite like the soft effect and ghost shadow of Lucy, which helps show her movement.
Just in case you think I have steady hands......I used a tripod!
very cool, loads of flame motion for 1 second.the colour of the flames is perfect, its a shame lucy and her clothes seems kinda pale though. no offence meant to lucy
