Get Pushed: Night Photo Long Exposure Dynamic Subject

This week, I got challenged by Adi @adi314 to do a long exposure night photo using a dynamic subject. How lucky that we attended a Medieval Christmas Market at the Stettenfels castle. Had to be a hand-held photo though.
Thank you for visiting and sharing your thoughts.

Many thanks for your nice comments on the "Dynamic Night Subject" photo! You are right, Francoise - it really fell right into my lap. And Clare - I think ht was he who thought I was stalking him because I took so many pictures during the performance. I needed many shots thought, because after good amounts of mulled wine and mead, I am glad I managed to keep the camera steady for this shot.

Carla - I think this shot worked out because he would move, but then stop in several positions twirling the fires around, and one of those "positions" he froze in was with his face out of the fire for a longer time, enough to be visible in the photo. I ended up with a lot of shots that just looked like balls of fire, with no person inside :)
