Fire Writing

| Instagram |

 

Another one from the Odawara Fire Festival held in Japan's Kanagawa prefecture. A festival practitioner writes kanji in the air as part of the traditional festival celebrations.

 

Shot handheld using my D750 and a 10 second exposure. The flashes of other peoples cameras create a nice effect by capturing the positions of the dancer as he completes his movements.

 

I wrote a little about the festival and what it was like to be there. You can find that essay here.
