Fire in the Mountain festival 31-5-2014

[painter's radio]

So today I fell out of bed and got my ass to a local festival. It's 4am and I'm finally home in my comfort zone. I'll post a few pictures I got today and will maybe do a small write up of the event, with more pictures, on Sunday - I'm going back tomorrow and also on Sunday (if I don't flake out by then). Enjoy.

Awesome pics! Really really nice. Thanks for sharing!

What kind of equipment are you using, if you don't mind me asking.

Thanks

Canon 700D
Canon 18-135
Canon 60mm Macro
Canon 50mm MKII

I have a flashgun too but didn't use it tonight. Will probably take tomorrow. All those were taken with the 18-135 because changing lenses is a pain in the ass.

From the title I assumed there was a huge fire that burns everybody...

Lovely pictures, that cat looks kinda of pissed you took a picture of it.

Haha no it was a bit weary of me at first but I sat down away from it to show that I wasn't a threat and it started to relax, even had a big stretch:

then it came and sniffed my leg and demanded I pet it. Only fair I suppose!

Here's a few more.

This is my sister's dog:

Making pizza in the clay oven:

This guy was crazy, chucking this fire thing around trying to do tricks, badly. The pants came off and he did it totally naked. I have video of it which is really funny but I don't know if youtube allow that kind of thing:

She totally just pee'd in the river:

Great pictures, looks like my kinda festival, relaxing, everyone just having a good time, not drunk and stupid and acting like neanderthals (except maybe for the one guy, but I wouldn't say stupid).

Thanks for sharing.

Where is this? (nevermind did a search, looks great, wish I could go there http://www.fireinthemountain.co.uk/ )

Very Kewel. It is Summer Solstice this weekend. Also known as Beltane (associated fire festivals). Funny how transitions forget history. Have Blessed Day.

It was really nice, no chavs there at all, not bad attitudes all weekend. The food there was good too - all organic stuff and plenty to choose from.

Lovely pictures. That crazy dude looks pissed off.

Great pictures, really top-notch. Are you a professional photographer, or just a hobbyist? You really do have a knack for portraits and capturing emotions...all your pictures tell a story. Have you ever sold any pics or had them published?
