Come watch a group of fire artists spin and take nighttime photos at the Bow and Arrow (aka “Cupid’s Span) at Embarcadero and Folsom with the Bay Lights as the backdrop.

Fire Dancing & Spinning Performance Night
Thursday, January 9, 2014 – 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm
Cupid’s Span | The Embarcadero & Folsom St, San Francisco, CA
FREE to watch, but stay the hell out of the way to be safe.

Fire Artists: This is a DIY event, so if you want to participate and spin, make sure you leave no trace and be super safe and you must use a catch tray.>>  Read all of the rules & instructions on Facebook.

Photographers: You’ll want to stay on the grass to leave as much room as possible for the spinning.  Practice shooting extended exposure photos and capturing the amazing images fire dancing creates. This is a time for trade, so make sure you post your photos and make them available for the artists in your photos.

Want to learn how to photograph fire? For those new to fire photography you can purchase a Get Lit video instruction series with nearly 40 minutes of useful information for $10.

Please note that if the fire gets shut down by the fire department, you should bring LED so you can continue the light show.
