Great! Love the first one!

Really neat stuff Robin!

Nice. I like how visible the person is.

 

[manaheim]

Neat. These are harder to do than people think, and you've done a nice job with them. Super nice stop motion there, too. Did you pop a flash?

 

[frommrstomommy]

Love. I'd love to hear how these were done.

Bulb mode
Flash fire, make sure if you have someone running the fire, the person is not in the frame
Paint fire,
stop bulb mode

The key is to have super powerful strobe because you want the ambient light super low. If your flash isnt that powerful, then you will mix too much ambient light and you will see the person holding the torch. I dont think you can do this with just a speedlite. You may need several of them. I used AB1600 bare at like 1/2 power.

You can do it with a speedlight, but you'll wind up with ghosty legs and stuff. What you have here is VERY clean.
