A fire breathing workshop
The subject for this weeks Qurator's Photo Quest is 🔥Fire🔥
As many boys and men, fire somehow always attrackts my attention. Whether it's a candle, a fireplace or a BBQ, I somehow always get drawn to it.
When I was looking for something fun to do with some friends a couple of years ago, I came across a fire breathing workskop. I was so excited and decided to book it.
The workshop was in a park just after sunset and it was already getting dark.
We started out with a 15 minutes practice of the technique with water. After that our instructor when he demonstrated it a few times when we were standing right next to him. He did this so we could experience the heat ourselves.
After the practicing we could give it a try ourselves. You always do this with a buddy.
First you have take a sip of lamp oil and then spray it towards a torch with a lot of force. Once the spray reaches the tocht it results in a huge ball of fire. The heat and the light that comes of the flame is enormous.
We started with a small sip, but after a bit of practicing we made bigger and bigger flames. We finally even made one with the three of us together.
The flame that we produced then was huge!
As you can see, the camera couldn't even handle the amount of light. But desite that I do like the shot and it is a great memory of a very cool (or rather hot) workshop!

Interesting, While ago i was doing music video, I needed fire spitter or how you call those guys , can be breather - couldn't find then I thought perhaps I can learn and do it myself for a shoot, however someone told me that is dangerous and I gave up on it.
It can be dangerous indeed. Our instructor told us a quite a lot about it and showed us some videos from acts that had gone wrong because the 'spitter' didn't follow some safety procedures.
But it's actually quite easy to learn.
As long as you keep safety in mind, you could do it yourself.
Looks like an incredibly fiery experience, I can only imagine the intensity form that huge ball of fire. Been fascinated with fire too ever since I was young, can gaze at it for a while without getting bored :)
