Light Dancing by taffy

Light Dancing

Taken last night at the Beaver Island Music Festival, handheld using my gorilla pod to brace the camera. The dancer was using two hula hoops that were ringed in lights. This was my favorite because of the way you can see her silhouette. She was quite amazing -- they both were in fact. Following this dance, they repeated, but with fire!
Very colourful abstract effect:-) FAV!!

I just wanted to thank you all so much for your quick response and many fav's to this shot. I am so excited to see your reactions, as I had liked the shot a lot and thought it may be one of my best, but I never can really tell. Thank you for your wonderful comments and your favs!!
Hope, I learned to use the gorillapod that way by watching @vankrey Michael while we were traveling in Japan. He had it attached to his camera almost all the time and braced the camera often on whatever was handy, including himself, rather than limiting it only to use as a regular tripod. I now carry it in my kit!

@silver_fox Thanks so much! I think it's sharp because I had the gorilla pod to steady it and then used as quick a shutter speed as I could (about 1 second) with a fairly wide lens. I was really pleased.
