Because lorimt reminded me that she'd taken these: Fire spinning pictures! Camera-phone quality, novice skill level, but still shiny.

Just getting them started.


Not sure what I did there. Probably got them tangled. Think this one will become an icon, though.

I think I need more mad skills and an accomplished photographer with a useful camera (I may be looking at you, gdarklighter) before I have any more of these.

Shiny! I look forward to ones taken with a real camera by a real photographer. :)

Bring poi to FW!

Would be a little strange not to.

Awesome! I didn't even know you were a spinner!

And yeah, one of the reasons I got a DSLR was so I could play with exposure times and so on. I should get back into poi and see about getting a fire set...

I'm still learning basics, but when I stole my father's old juggling penguins to poiify, he decided he'd like to see how they looked on fire, and let me raid his workshop. They're surprisingly easy to make from a dish towel, some nuts and bolts, and a length of chain.

Fun! Not bad. :)

I think the silver bullet is going to end up being a simple tripod. Or, at least, that's how I remember Eric Angel doing it.
