Greetings,
I've recently started photographing and shooting video of Fire Performers. My equipment is a Sony A7s w/ Canon FD 50 1.4 or LOMO 4-28-1.
I'm curious to know, can the heat from the fire can affect the coatings on the lenses? When shooting the talent, I'm often only a few feet away and I'm looking to possibly set up a shot where they breath fire directly at me... or a POV shot and I'm worried that it could affect my lenses.
Here is an example photo I took of a couple performers.
Thanks in advance!
