Fire Dancers on Playa Principal

Thanks Will. If you click on any of the pics, it'll take you to Flickr. A quick scroll down below the pic will show you all the metadata about the image. These were all taken at .4 sec shutter speed with the flash set to fire at the end of the exposure (second curtain sync). It's really important that the second curtain sync be set to get the feel of the fire flowing. I use this technique a lot when I want to capture motion. I will vary the shutter speed depending on how fast the action is taking place. Here are some other examples:

For some scenes (like the fish market), I'll put it on a tripod and let the people blur and the fish stay sharp. Here is an example:
