portrait photography - entry 1 for #portraitcontest theme "Low Key Portraits"
This portrait of a fire dancer at night at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, is an entry for theme Low Key Portraits in the Portrait Photography Contest, #portraitcontest, by @portraitcontest with guest judge @samsiedenstrang.
I've posted fire dancer portraits before but I don't think I have posted images of the surroundings yet. The Palace of Fine Arts is beautiful any time, but especially at night when all buildings are illumined. Here are two building impressions from the evening the portrait photo was taken:

So there is some ambient light but that light is diminutive compared to the light from the torches that the fire dancers are carrying.
Still, with a steady hand and longer exposure time it's possible to take a photo under that ambient light:

I think these low light shots are beautiful, low light but they glow from the dark... I haven't seen any of your fire dancer shots, but this is good!
Good luck for the contest!!
Thanks @ackhoo!

I like the light painting at the end, there. Those are always fun! I've been meaning to get out and do a little more of that lately, but I haven't found the time. Plus, the mosquitos are insane lately.
Thanks! These events are indeed great fun. I went to several over the years :)

Hi @photocontests / @juliank. Thanks for organizing these photo contests.
I think there's a problem with your "contest wins" algorithm: I noticed that mine seems to have been stuck for quite some while at "18" even though I have been included in your winning posts since I first started to suspect that that number was no longer changing...
