Fire

My son and a few other scouts earned their Arrow of Light for cub scouts. The pack hired a long time scouter, Clay Crowley, to perform the ceremony. The highlight is when asked if the boys have done their best, all the boys say, "Yes!", well some are not that sure. In order to prove their honesty, Clay takes their neckerchief and places in eagle's blood, then lights the neckerchief on fire. If the neckerchief burns, the boys have lied, or if the neckerchief survives the fire, they have told the truth.

I shot some with a flash, which doesn't capture the mood of the fire being the sole light in the room. The best one was with the lights and flash off. Shot at 3200 ISO f4.8 1/25, noise came through, but I don't mind.
