    81/365 Haikus: Fire (6/50)

    The flames draw arches
    To drumbeats faster than hearts';
    Fiery set of wings.

    A fire dancer performs in Eastwood City, Philippines. On-camera strobe gelled yellow at -3EV.

    I wanted to go for something akin to the cover of "The Hot Shoe Diaries," but unfortunately I'm no Joe McNally.

      Very nice. I think the overall exposure works well with the shot. The light fall off is very smooth.

      That's awesome! Fire poi with her hair exposed like that -- she must be very confident. :)

      Either that or she's been burned enough times that she's no longer afraid :P

      Haha. That too XD Could've gained confidence from all those times she got burned because she already knows too well.
