The Bournemouth Gardens Fire Show seems to be an annual event now. I missed it last year. But I was there this year, armed with my Fuji X-M1 to test its ability to shoot a little video. It’s not the most entertaining video you’ll ever see. I wanted to see how the camera performed in very low light. Fuji doesn’t really shout about the X-M1s video capabilities too much. It’s not its strongest suit. But I think it did ok.
The fire show itself is a rather bizarre event. Surreal even. It comes under the umbrella of the Bournemouth Arts Week something or other. I took a few photos too. You can have a look at those on Flickr by clicking here.

Your video came out quite well, and the photos are impressive. So is there any history behind this strange event?

Thanks!
I have no idea! All I know is from what I read in the pamphlet. The fire display was one part of a number of shows. I can point you in the direction of the company who did it… http://ciecarabosse.fr/en/

What video camera are you using?

My Fuji X-M1. I would like to shoot a video in daytime with good light. Alas, rain is forecast every day for the foreseeable future.

Nice shots. It looks like the British version of a Ku Klux Klan meeting. Or some other Celtic-rooted practice.

It’s actually a French performance company. Possibly recreating their fleets from the 19th century after meeting the English fleets…
