The human sparkler, and bloody Moon
While capturing the
total lunar eclipse 31st January, 2018, over the
Ko Samui island, Thailand, I experienced it by wonderful traditional
Thai fire show nearby. In fact, many people were pretty surprised by the “orange in the sky” as local news didn’t bring any information about that. So walking on on the
Lamai beach with my camera, I was meeting both local people and tourists, longly staying on the beach and gazing in the not-typical full Moon so far. The surprise was even bigger for them as the Thai people prepared for them rich program of every-month “full moon party”, including these spectacular fire-men shows but… there was no full Moon over 4 hours! But with the bloody Moon over the “human volcano”, the show was definitely much more spectacular. Used Canon 6D, Sigma 24mm Art, f2.8, ISO 100, 2s (fire show) and 6s (eclipse) subsequent multiexposure.
