Pandora's Matchbox @ Soulard Crawfish Festival

Pandora's Matchbox @ Soulard Crawfish Festival, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

The motion blur was due to the flash effect that i used. My main objective was to capture the fire not so much the body.

I used a setting of .5 seconds on Camera in Manual mode with a Strobe Effect of 10 times and 10 Hz on 1/8 power to get the effects like this. All photos were hand held. Taken during The Pedestrians set at the Soulard Crawfish Festival. This was my first time to do anything like this.
