Description

Up Helly Aa is Europe's largest viking fire festival that is unique to the Shetland Isles. Shetland's famous fiery spectacle, Up Helly Aa, is an event held annually on the last Tuesday in January and is steeped in culture and history that established itself on the islands' event calendar at the end of the 19th century. it was a cold frosty night but you could feel the heat from the torches that had just been thrown into the Galley. I captured this image of the Galley ablaze inside the burning area as i was one of the official squad photographers for the event which allowed me access. Captured using my Nikon D7100 and Sigma 70-200 lens shot at F5.6 -ISO 100 -86mm -1/125
