Vincent spitting fire during last week's fire light painting photo session!
We organized a little light painting evening with fire last week. We had 3 jugglers (including one fire spitter) and 3 photographers, all equipped with SLRs and tripods.
The idea of the evening was to do some light painting with fire.
Benoit, Julian and myself were taking photos, and Olivier, JB and Vincent were juggling. The evening was really nice, we spent 2 hours shooting in different configurations, we had some really nice results as well. The thing with fire is that you don't control it as much as normal flash lights when doing light painting, so the pictures are a bit less prepared than our previous light painting experiments. But the texture of the fire is really really cool.
This one is not a light painting photo per say cause the exposure time was around 1/1000th of a second only in order to freeze the fire shot in the air.
But we did many photos that lasted around 5 to 30 seconds depending on what we wanted to achieve. I've posted another one to show the kind of things we did.
Quite happy with how things turned out, we all had fun and went away with fairly nice photos, next time I'd like to try and "build" scenes a little more, perhaps with several light sources.
