We went to a birthday party where there was drumming, fire dancing, and 
didjeridu playing (me, so you don't see it on photos). I am not sure how 
successful these pictures are as there weren't much light except from the 
fire dancer's torches:

Lighting up the torches. May well be the best ones since he hasn't start to 
move yet :-)

Just to make it more challenging, he switched to 2 flaming chains. They got 
very close to his body at times...

50/1.4ASPH F1.4 to F2, 1/30th to 1/60th Tri X @ 800, DDX 1+4. Sorry about 
the dust specks. I got rid of some already. When I am convinced that the 
pictures have some merits, I will clone stamp the remaining ones out....
