Hard to capture the mood with a flash and no tripod in site, so the bluriness is due to me, but I also like the feel it gives this photo. This isn't the best I could do for negative space, but it is the best I managed to do this week!

The effect of the fire is cool. It seems like you have a little shake though, blurring some of the rest of the pic. If this was intentional, ignore me. If not, and you don't have a tripod, I have found that a ziploc bag with flour or sugar makes a nice little beanbag. 'Course to the casual observer, it may look like drugs or soemthing. karmat
Although I am not keen on the blurriness the lighting and darkness of this portray the ambience of the occasion very well. If it were possible to enter non-standard ratios I'd like this with less black on the right or with more on the left to balance it. 6, Kavey
these shots are real hard but once in a while they turn out real sweet, totally worth all the ones that are too dark or blurred or whatever. keep on doing this.
Good idea. This could be improved with the use of a tripod, or resting the camera on a level surface... or lean against something and hold the camera tight close and hold your breath during the exposure so you don't get any shake. I would expect movement in the people, but not in the building. Try an image like this again sometime, 'cause I'd like to see it. ;)
This photo intrigues me because I think that if it were shot from a different angle, cutting the house out, and just a little closer up, it would have really engaged my interest a lot more. I like the whole feel of the campfire area, but house detracts from the overall image for me. lhall-6
