More fire...

Inspired by Fiona couple of months ago I decided to try some long exposures by a bonfire. I used K20D on a beanbag, 10s delay. Me and my brother used sticks set afire in the bonfire and started waving them. I think I could achieve better results using stronger (or few slaves) flash - but didn't have any then. So people are rather blurry. They are first attempts, I'll continue next year, let me know what do you think:

I used build-in flash (trailing curtain setup) it did help a bit. Next year I plan to experiment with simple slaves (which react on a flash) and flashgun. It is a fun
Kind regards,
