Veronika the fire hoop dancer eates fire while emerging out of a sea of darkness. On stage she preforms for 'In the Shadow if Vegas Lights' a bennifit variety show held in Arroyo Grande, California. Armed with my Canon Digital XTI and dinky tripod only, I had to balance a zero tolerence flash rule and the tops of the crowd in front. I shot for 3 nights with what I have been told a 'slow lense' in a low light situation. Even the stage lights wern't quite cutting it. The main reason this one worked was because of the light source was close to the subect and she held the pose lon enough for me to catch it!
