After I was so thrilled with watching and photographing the fire performers at their wedding, Katie and Nathan managed to get me a ticket to the PDF event this weekend. Due to work commitments this weekend, I was only able to visit tonight (Friday), and take in the activities and spirit of the event, and chat to random people. Magical.
Of the fire performers (and other participants) I photographed, I really liked the few images I got of Nichole .. and thought I’d show them here as a small glimpse of the event.
Shot with the Nikon D3, using the Nikon 85mm f1.4D lens
1/125 @ f1.4 @ 3200 ISO
As usual, nice.. Neil, but I felt that the subject is a bit too tight when it comes to composition.. I am no expert.. but just my opinion.. could have tried the 50mm f1.4 as well for a wider view..
Awesome pics still.. no wonder about that, since its you who clicked.. :)
I like both images and still in awe at how the D3 copes with such iso’s and more.
Fantastic!
Fire twirling is very cool, I came across this group at the foot of the Harbour Bridge whilst shooting cityscapes: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=124840436695&set=a.124839091695.116166.668806695
Keep up the great posts!
Excellent shots!
How do you take pics of fire performers? I had some fire performing bartenders the other night. The room is a certain ambient, the fire is bright.
The fire breathing parts light up the whole room too!
But it’s only for a second, so I don’t know how bright it’ll get, so I don’t know how to adjust my settings so it’s not blown out.
