Conan Skewers the Dragon at Universal Studios - August 8, 1983 - Shot on Film

After some moments where the dragon breathes fire on Conan, the mighty Cimmerian, stabs the dragon with his sword. You don't see any photos of the fire, because the image was shaky and therefore unusable. Conan held up his shield and protected himself and Sonya from the flames. Yeah, it would have been cool had I not shaken the camera so much and if the action hadn't moved so fast.

 

I was shooting at a slow shutter speed (about 1/15 of a second), with my Vivitar 400/SL camera. I had the 50mm lens wide open at f/1.9, and was using Eastman Kodak 5293 motion picture stock, rated at around 250. I guess I was fortunate to have gotten anything from this show, as nobody seemed to care if I sat in the audience, clicking away with my SLR.
