Do a quick Google search of alcohol-related scientific studies and what do you find? It’s likely you’ll stumble across some amusing findings on the effects of alcohol on the human body. In one such study, published last year on bmj.com, doctors in Denmark disproved a popular Danish urban myth that said submerging feet in alcohol could get people drunk.

If there’s one thing you learn when talking to a tattoo artist, it’s that people want some very unique drawings on their bodies. Very, very unique.

Every Thursday after dusk, a select group of Davis students and residents congregate at the E Street Plaza to practice a unique skill – fire twirling. Last week, I happened to walk by, and I immediately snapped some shots. It was dark, and I wanted to emphasize the effect of the fire so I didn’t use a flash. Instead, I used a long shutter speed of 1/10 of a second and a high ISO of 1600. I wasn’t carrying a tripod, so I rested my camera on a nearby bench, tilting it upward to capture the whole effect. I wanted to keep the main fire twirler in focus but let the background blur somewhat. To do this I set a wide aperture of f/4. I didn’t have a chance to talk to any of the twirlers, but it looked like they were willing to teach anyone who arrived. So, if you’re looking for a new skill, bring your own fire!
