"Just For Fun"
Despite the almost full moon I was keen for a night out under the stars last night. A little bit of cloud cut short the star trail image I was doing (coming soon) so on the way home I decided to have a bit of fun.
PLEASE NOTE:
I took this image in a forest that was already completely burnt out by a fire only a few months ago and only after heavy rain. There is nothing left to burn. Even so I had a fire extinguisher on hand just in case. I would never even think about doing this in hot dry conditions and in a high fuel load area.
Canon 5D MkII, 14mm, F/2.8, ISO 50, 30 seconds.

I LOVE THIS!
i was concerned about a fire hazard until after reading the comments below, It's nice how you aren't reckless like some people are. i love how you also captured the sky, adds an emotion of freedom...

The picture is gorgeus, but the thing I really love is that comment. You're not a reckless person that does not pay attention to a danger that fire is, and that is amazing.

Wow! How did you get the light to do what it's doing?!

Possibly had the camera record before taking the pic. Anything that moves during the recording will result in a bit of a blur image. Least, I think that's what happens to my knowledge.

yes, it was an open shutter- where the camera lens remains open for a set amount of time, creating the effect you just described. from what i can figure out from the camera details at the bottom of the description, looks like the exposure lasted 30 seconds. more than enough time to catch that sparking effect, but not enough time to capture much/any movement in the clouds, which is why they look so clear.
never done a lick of real photography myself, but i hung out in the back of the art room during the photography class one semester back in high school; i overheard a lot of the technical aspects and techniques. probably the only reason i know this. *shrug*

This is so amazing. I love how the color of the light really pops against the darkness. The sky also makes the picture more interesting because it is also light against dark. This picture looks like it was thought out well and you really balanced the colors out well. Nice job
