This shot is a triple exposure. (3 seperate exposures combined within the camera (D200))
1) Carina was spinning the pois (firedancing chains) while i zoomed the camera during a 2 second exposure. This was done in the dark, outside.
[F11 ; 2 sec ; ISO 100]
2) Right hand was exposed indoors, on a black velvelt background with one flash exposing the inside of the hand. [F16 ; 1/250 sec ; ISO 100]
3) Same for the Left hand. [F16 ; 1/250 sec ; ISO 100]
The hands had to be done in two shots to make it look like the light was coming from inside... otherwise the back of the hand would get illuminated. Props to Carina for the perfect alignment of the hands with the flames.

Certainly a unique image here. I can only assue it's a lot harder than it looks to get several images placed in the single frame properly, as well as exposure. Congrats on the Aleks!

Congrats! This was one of my highest-rated photos.
Please correct the exposure info, though. Or did you really get three exposures on one frame within 2 seconds? I ask because that kind of info really helps those of us trying to learn how to get multiple exposures.
Thanks!
This is a fantastic piece of work, congrats. I'm not sure I follow though, do you mean this is a composite of three separate images, layered in post? Or is this one shot, in camera?
Congrats on the ribbon mate, I didn´t vote but I noticed this in the thumbnails and figured it would give me strong competition and I am not surprised to see it here, well deserved.
My favorite inage in this challenge because the image evolves right before your eyes as more detail becomes available. Indeed a great study. Congratulations on your Yellow!
This type of challenge is DEFINITELY up your alley! Somehow I didn't see this one going through the entries, but I would've known instantly it was yours (and voted somewhere above a 9). Congrats!
Wonderfully executed illusion! Definitely one of my favorites in the challenge. The only thing that I would want to change is the title. Since it appears to be a spell being cast, I think "Pyromancy" may be more apt. But the image is outstanding. Well done.
It's hard to say but I imagine this could be one of the ribbons. If it doesn't ribbon it might be because the lighting on the hands are a bit too dark. Really good shot and meets the challenge. Excellent job!
I started out with a 6 for this, but I'm upping it to an 8. It really captures the challenge topic perfectly, and it's a great image on top of that. I look forward to reading how you did it. I like how the hands are lit enough to know what they are without dominating the picture, and how the fingers curl to lead my eye back to the flame spiral. Very nice!
Most excellent. Very good double exposure as I'm guessing you made it even more difficult with having to adjust your lens' focal length. This should be right up there. 9 for now. Could bump you at the end. I expect this one to ribbon (although not to blue...I know which one will do that)
