Anachronism IV: Sasha: Fire Gypsy (part 3)
Fire Vortex
Dragging the shutter can be a tricky thing. You do not want to keep it open too long because the image might become blurry due to exposure; the flash exposed once, but the longer you keep the shutter open the light has more time to collect on the film.
It is a delicate balance.
I think I kept the shutter open for about 1-2 seconds here and this let me capture some amazing circular light trails coalescing into one point.
Sasha's unusual body posturing also injects an element of the exotic into the image, which I feel is a nice compliment to the shape light painting.
