At the end of the day, we set fire to a giant pile of old wood and dead trees. Biggest bonefire I've seen in a long time. The flames went high in the sky, the embers (fire bugs) higher. I must have shot a hundred frames of the embers, trying to get a pleasing pattern. This top one is one of my favorites, achieved by shooting with a long shutter speed and shaking the camera during the exposure. 0.8 sec shutter, f/2.8, ISO 2000, 145mm.
Another one I liked. This could be a shot of someone's hair in a backlight. 0.3 sec, f/2.8, ISO 2000, 200mm.
