The fight for diverse and conscious voices

I finally found a couple hours to finish the edits from the Beginning of Summer fire performance photos. Started with about 160 images, kept 62.

There's a mix of styles and timings in here. Some shots went as little as 1/1000th of a second. Others are 1-2 second exposures. I was trying hard not to pay attention to the camera settings and just shoot. I've also turned off the picture preview by default (finally) though I still find myself compulsively glancing at the back of the camera.

I want to be shooting more, but life is so overcommitted I don't know when that will happen.

Sometimes I play around with my camera and get something unexpected out. I wish I could remember the particular combination of settings that got me this, because I rather like it. ETA: f/4.8 for 1/3sec at ISO 1600. Thanks to folk for pointing out the obvious to me in comments.
