Challenge:Light Source (Classic Editing) Camera:Olympus E-20 Location: Kingston, NY Date: Oct 16, 2002 Aperture: f 2.0 ISO: 80 Shutter: 1/50 Date Uploaded: Oct 19, 2002
This image was shot in a cave while Reyna was fire twirling--known as "Poi" The very low light made it extremely hard to get good focus. I have tried to make it a soft focus. I was going to post one with her actually twirling but it would have meant 2 light sources.

i love this. too bad you couldnt get a sharper focus. i think people who have a problem with nudity should take theyre clothes off and go look in a mirror til they get over it. and as i interpret it, you wernt trying for a sexy chick holding fire, so i like it better than looking at a perfect 17 year old body or whatever. it seems more natural to me, and hell im only 16 myself...lol sorry for me going on and on about it:)
I absolutely love this photo. The woman has a beautiful, mature figure that adds a sense of naturalness and earthiness to the entire composition. It has such archetypal themes - the fertile female body and destructive yet life-giving fire. I love the soft focus, the colour, the curves of her body and the composition.
Hey, there are 15 yr olds on this site in case you didn't know. I don't believe this is obscene or anything, hell I like nudity, but I'm not so sure it's appropriate here. About the picture, it's pretty good. The subject is a little dark and the flame is a little bright. tough to compromise exposures isn't it? Good luck - Inspzil
Nice! Like the curvy shapes lit up from her arms to her stomach and hip. Looks like some pagan witchy ceremony and it's interesting. Great use of 1-source light.
Uh oh, this smells of controversy. You shouldn't make waves here, just ask Zeissman, he'll tell you flat out. And OH MY GOD, there are some children that come here and their virgin eyes should not be exposed to such utter vulgarity. You should be ashamed! Bad, bad photographer. Actually, this is pretty nice. Keep up the good work.
