Aperture: 3.5

Taken on a canoe trip across the lochs in Rannoch Moor - I thought all the sparks coming out of the fire looked pretty cool. Unfortunately, because of the length of exposure the faces look a little blurred.

I purposely kept a lot of sky in when I cropped this to give the feeling of a huge open sky overhead.

If you look closely you might notice a line of dots from a plane's light as it flew across the sky.

The mountain in the background seems more in focus than the faces in the foreground. However, I do enjoy the fire light trails.

Really interesting how you managed to not overexpose the fire.
Possibly a longer exposure with a smaller aperture?

Well done, anyway.

I love it. One of my favorites. It just touches a warm fuzzy thing in me. So it gets a very good score. 9

Wonderful sparks (embers?). Certainly looks like a fire was needed.
