Winner – Need a Light?

I was going to shoot this anyway , and then when I saw the firing challenge I opine it would be the perfect idea . I took over 200 pictures of the wanton , some without fire , some with a streak of flame , and some with the full flame . Shooting a composite also allowed me to have multiple lighting points with just one flash ; lighting from the side permit me to catch some of the detail in the wind guard , which would contrast with the smooth unaccented physical structure . I then stacked the picture in photoshop , to make the composite and added a median filter to give it a ‘ too perfect ’ look . Shot with Canon 7D , ISO640 , 60 millimetre macro instruction , f/6.3 , Manual Focus , 1/80 for streaks , 1/20 for flame .

Hot Wheels

My boy and I were attempt to come up with ideas for this week ’s challenge and our original programme was to soak a miniature car in gas and light it on fire while having a fan blow on it to appear like the cable car is moving on fire . Well , after essay for several hours to get that shot , we just abandon that mind and catch the Pteridium aquilinum dry cleaner . We used an old mirror as the for the reflective Earth’s surface with great results .

Nonpareil Marble

I was at a backyard BBQ last night , after a while we got a ardour fit and there was some kind of metal nett over the fire . I noticed that something interesting was happen to the flames as they came through it ; I could n’t see what that thing actually was until I froze it in billet with this photo .

Hot Wheels II

With this characterisation I need to accentuate the contour of a toy car by applying a wind tunnel - similar method only with fire , to achieve this I used a simple lighter and spray it with an ax bottleful , what made the fervidness extend . Special thanks to my lady friend , who helped me ! Canon T2i , Shutter Speed 1/1000 sec , f /3.5 , ISO 3200 , 18 millimeter

Icy Hot

I have a Square Vase … so what I did was replete it with water enter a Wick and froze it . then when it was frosty , I took a heating Fe and melted a bodily cavity around the wick , which I fill with melt candle wax … waited till dark and took 40 shots at various Tv ’s and this is what I came up with . It was dissipate with a Canon 60D , on a Manfrotto Tri - Pod with a 50 millimetre Sigma 1:2.8 DG Macro … The Av was f:8 @ 1/500 sec . the ISO was 640 , with a – 1.3 footstep . What I would have rather done was Burn something Really Really Big … But I live in a smallish township and they sort of frown on that sort of thing …

Minecraft

When I saw the mind of fervor for the next exposure challenge the first thing that popped into my header was the torches from Minecraft . I of late corrupt the game and ended up playing it for three day straight . I only stopped for awe of blood coagulum .

I made most of the blocks from papercraft patterns I found online . I had to make the woolly mullein newspaper model by hand in photoshop , making sure to give each pixel the correct color by colour sampling from screenshots . I also had a grueling prison term making sure that the torch was proportional to the blocks , and I could n’t get quite the right angle .

I inserted a birthday candle into the paper torch and lit it up . I was able to take 4 pic before the blocks bristle into flames . This shot is the first one . The only editing done to this photo was an automatic adjustment to the clean balance in adobe television camera raw , and then resizing in photoshop .

Burning Blade Tavern Epic Universe

Even though this photo curb thing from Minecraft , I figure it is still within your competition rules because I actually got the block radiation pattern from a third party site and Minecraft really only seems concerned with citizenry stealing the software , not using Minecraft texture to make fun photos . Pentax K20D , f/4.5 , 1/10 sec . , 400 ISO , 58 mm Lens/87 mm equivalent weight

Vapor

Last week a booster of mine prove me a neat trick that involves heating and compressing the remaining alcohol fumes from a John Barleycorn bottle . I knew I wanted to seek to capture that on capera for this week ’s inject challenge . I used an sure-enough empty bottle of wine that I had lying around and fueled the flames with Jack Daniel ’s vaporisation . Canon 10D. Shutter speed 0″3 f/6.7 iso 1600

Firebolt

I was grilling with some admirer and put a few too many coals on the bbq . Well , I happened to get an HTC bolt of lightning lately and love the photographic camera . So I decided to play with it and take some guess of the flames pouring out of the grill . I think it ’s pretty damn telling for a cellular telephone television camera . Only lose a few arm fuzz in the making of this shot ! HTC bombshell , ISO 200
