Location
This photo was taken in a rain runoff tunnel a couple miles from my parent's home in Reno, NV.Time
Found the location while on a walk in the afternoon. Call my friend to meet up around 10:00 pm at a near by grocery store. Got to the site and made way into the tunnel by 11:00 pm.Lighting
used a simple flash light to be able to find spots for photo, focusing, and positionEquipment
handheld Nikon 3100, 18-55mm kit lensInspiration
Having seen some beautiful photos from Benjamin Von Wong and his work with Andrey Das got me wanting to try and create beautiful images with fire. My fire learned to fire breathe from me so it was the perfect opportunity get started.Editing
some basic color correctionIn my camera bag
at the time i was sporting the Nikon D3100, 18-55mm kit lens, 35mm f/1.8, 50mm F/1.8 i have since increased my collection to include Nikon D7000, D40, sigma 50-500mm, 18-135mmFeedback
The best advice is find a local fire performer. talk with them and make sure that they know what they are doing.
