At my semi-annual frog and reptile workshop this past weekend in St. Louis, we had a spectacular fire-breathing performance after hours. I now do this every workshop One of the men I hire to bring all the animals, Ross Hyman, performs as a fire-breather, and at night it makes a fantastic image. Because I’ve photographed this previously, I wanted to do something different this time. So, I lay on the ground just beneath Ross and photographed him with the camera pointed straight upward. A little of the oil he uses that creates the flame sprayed on my lens, but that was a small price to pay for such a cool shot. My settings for this picture were 1/400th of a second, f/5.6, 500 ISO, and I used a 24-105mm lens set to the widest focal length.
