Fire Swords 4901
Before discussing light dancing images in more detail, I want to digress a bit and talk about how I started fire dancing myself and how that led to an unexpected and wonderful collaboration.  

I had tried spinning the poi, without fire, and found that it is not a skill that come naturally to me at all.  However, I've been doing fencing and other forms of sword work for many years.  It wasn't long before I decided to build myself a set of fire swords.  

I set up the tripod, paced the distance and asked a friend to press the shutter, count to 3 and fire the flash.  Then I lit my swords, started dancing and asked him to fire away.
