Default Fire spinners
I'm going to be photographing some friends of mine that spin fire. Any tips? I'm thinking I'll have to try 2nd curtain sync, but I don't remember how to set that. I use a Canon 7D and have a 580EXII Flash. Last time I tried capturing the fire spinning, it was kind of a disaster since I don't use flash much and just had the flash set on auto. So everything was pretty much a blur. I want the person in focus and lit, and then the blurs of the fire spinning around them.

TIY!
