Yeah this was about 10:30 pm ... was on a sort-of date, no tripod with me.

Initially I was shooting this concert/dance thing at like 1600 1/100, but then they dimmed the lights and out came these fire dancers. I changed to 400 1/50 or so to try and get some motion blur ... didn't really have time to check how these images were exposing. Most were too blurry, and in some the dancers were moving slow enough that it worked; but this image I immediately noticed and marked as my favorite of the bunch. Yeah, definitely wasn't by any means a concentrated effort, but as an impromptu shot I thought it wasn't bad.

She's doing a routine with a chinese yo-yo that's on fire.
