I left the shutter open for 8 seconds and poked the fire mercilessly with a stick to make sure lots of sparks went up. It turned out far more interesting than I'd imagined. It wasn't even a big camp fire.

Here's my Lego fire department Urban Search & Rescue Task Force 3. It includes USAR 3 (front) and Heavy Rescue 3. Not pictured are Engine 3, Squad 3, Medic 3, and Truck 3. The Task Force concept and the USAR uniforms are based on the Los Angeles City Fire Department.
The heavy rescue design is based on San Diego Fire Department's Pierce Urban Search & Rescue rigs. The design is 7-wide (8-wide if you count lights). It uses several Studs Not On Top techniques with bricks going upside down and every direction and is almost zero-studs showing. Custom chrome wheels and other parts were ordered through Bricklink.com. Rescue trucks like this one are basically giant toolboxes that carry hydraulic tools, saws, and other rescue equipment. Unlike a fire engine, they don't carry water or hoses. They respond to incidents like structural collapse, high-angle rescues, and vehicle accidents.

Been sick but now it seems that I'm starting to feel alright.
Today it snowed, what a cold day it was. 52 years since it snowed over here!
This fire is for you my friends. I wish it can warm your hearts.
Following on from my portrait of Tom pre-fire, here is the result of a mouthful of paraffin colliding with a naked flame on the end of a wick stick.
I was having a lot of trouble trying to figure out a way to use my strobe light with these shots, which is why this image is without artificial light.
When I'm shooting fire like this I use a shutter-speed of anything over 1/500s. I find at those speeds I get a lot of detail out of the fire, versus the slower shutter-speeds where although there's more light cast in the overall image the fire becomes much more overexposed.
The issue with trying to use strobes to capture these shots is that my maximum sync speed for my camera and flash is 1/200s. This means my camera will capture the light from the flash, but at the cost of detail in the fire. There's other issues with this as well, like the colours the fire emits clashing with the electronic light of the flashgun. It's all stuff I'm looking forward to expanding on and working with.
Fire fighter, slow shutter.
Light and magic never shut's her.
When she spin the line of flame.
Those around her enjoys the game.
The use of fire as a management tool by Aboriginal people was, and in most cases still is strictly controlled and dictated by an intimate and complex knowledge of the natural history and microclimate requirements of the flora and fauna of their domain. Most fires are lit in the early dry, when cool moisture laden nights would extinguish the fires ("cool burn"). Much of the vegetation and litter is too damp to burn, and so a mosaic of relatively small patches of burnt and unburnt country is a common feature. Both Aboriginal and European today recognise the value of this habitat diversity in the protection and production of flora and fauna diversity.
