ABOUT THE PHOTO
This photo is around 5 years old. I was just starting to discover my passion for photography, back then.
5 years ago I used it in my 20 photos portfolio when finishing a photography course and the person who was examining me was so confused about what kind of lights I used for this image that he did not even care about the rest and all he wanted to know was how the heck I took this one.
He said something like "If you can explain this without saying the word "Photoshop" you pass.
And I want to brag that I got 10 out of 10.

As zice undeva pe la 1/100 ca e un pic de shutter drag pe acolo :)
so many good guesses, I'll throw in another fact.
The flame was around 5 meters long and I could feel the heat from it even when from several meters away later on when I switched to my 300mm lens. So keep in mind where there's that much heat there is also a lot of light and one might want to use some filters to protect his gear with some ND filters
I guess 1/1250th since 1600 & 2000 & 4000 are already taken.
@jonathansippel congrats! the fact that others guessed 1600 & 2000 & 4000 are already worked in your favor
Wooo! Thanks Vlad! Cool shot btw.
Nice shot! 1/500
Everyone is going with a fast number... i'm gonna jump on with you on this guess.
Just enough movement to the spray... That's my thinking.
I'll guess 1/750th
1/2000 second - Fire is so fast. Maybe that's not even fast enough.
I'm with you, 1/2000
nice photo, my guess is 1/1000th :)
My guess is 1/1500s.
Slow
But exactly how slow?
Ok
Vote me back pls
1/500
1/4000 ;)
I am going for 1/4000 too.
I'll back that! :)
I assume it's 1/30 sec. ;)
That's a great photo, especially the fire!
I have never shot fire or something like that so my guess is going to be a bit of a shot in the dark, but let's say 1/600s.
My guess: 1/250
I don't think it is a fast shot
1/200 s
1/60
My guess 1/250 sec :)
1/1600th
1/100
for fire should be fast, but background is throwing me off. it looks like long exposure in the night (but man is sharp...) well everybody went fast so i will go slow. 1 sec
My guess: 1/500 second.
1/10
1 / 125s ^^
Judging by the heat of the fire, I'm going with 1/320th
1/60
1/160
1 / 8000 ;)
