Fire Twirling


We had something a bit like this a while ago (the image server is running too slowly for me to find it at the mo), but there were some minor concerns over jpeg artifacts. This one by User:Haloeffect looks a little bit better and similarly illustrates a nicely dynamic subject at Fire-twirling.

 * Comment - It seems to be rather washed out, and the image noise and JPEG artifacting are noticable, so I've uploaded this edit.PiccoloNamek 22:27, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Blurry. Enochlau 02:21, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Of course it's blurry. To get that size of trail you have to have a relatively long exposure, and in that time the man and probably the camera too will have moved slightly. I think the fact that the twirler isn't so well defined adds to it, because if he was sharp it would draw your attention towards him and away from the fire. &mdash;Vanderdecken&int; &xi; &phi;


 * Support - you can't get perfect clarity and show those fire rings. Renata3 19:01, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
 * ( + ) Support Looks fine to me. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 07:14, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Support the edited version. The blurring actually contributes to the pic, me thinks. --anetode╔╝ 08:25, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

 * . I agree with Anetode, very nice and adds to article. It's the second version for me. &mdash;Vanderdecken&int; &xi; &phi; 12:17, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The fire could be sharper, and there's quite a lot of noise. I've taken better . ed g2s &bull; talk  20:49, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Support version 2. Comment: "I've taken better" - why don't you upload one, then? ;-) Seriously, a picture like this is often a lucky shot. This one could have been a little better by using a tripod, but is quite nice as is. --Janke | Talk 14:04, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
