Possibilities

Earlier this week I was playing with fire, with a shot in mind, when my eyebrows and eyelashes had a "fire induced near death experience" and no shot resulted as I was far to busy with a "stop, drop and roll" maneuver to worry about pushing the magic "take photo" button . Last night a passing comment was made that "he could even make ice burn." I like a challenge as much as the next person and as a result here is a photo...Yes, that is some ice and yes, it is on fire...without the aid of photoshop.
Works best on the black background if you have the time.
You seem to be on a pyro streak, I'm enjoying the photos!

@rangerxenos Oh good lord, you really shouldn't say 'pyro' and 'streak' in the same sentence. You'll only give me ideas...and thanks very much :)
July 26th, 2014  
@graemestevens Uh oh, now I'm a little afraid. :)
July 26th, 2014  
@rangerxenos So am I...so are the neighbours...so is the insurance company...
July 26th, 2014  
...and all I can do is laugh at the above comments and replies. And wonder in awe as how you managed to set fire to ice!
July 26th, 2014  
@ukandie1 It's all done with the power of my mind, some Jedi training, a robust insurance policy, an understanding and tolerant wife and a secluded back yard. Oh, and a fairly potent accelerant. And thanks very much :)

You have defied the laws of physics here!
July 26th, 2014  
@eyeamlisa I shall take that as a compliment!
July 26th, 2014  
He he...fire and ice. Very cool shot and concept. And YIKES about your close call. Do you have browns and lashes still? Eek.
July 26th, 2014  
Very cool!!!
July 26th, 2014  
Kewl! Ok, so I'm late, but today I attempted LOW KEY! Loved your pics. Missed it all. Geez, I'm such an awful 365er these days, but thanks for getting me thinking. Keep those brows. They make excellent subjects. ;)
July 26th, 2014  
@amandal Thanks very much - still got the brows but it was only just!
@cailts Thanks very much :)
@darylo I just saw that...and thanks very much, I still have them but it was only just!
July 26th, 2014  
Well, this is very very cool. Eek re near loss of eyebrows experience.
July 26th, 2014  
Ah, this is such a great shot! I'm amazed at how you've done this photo! Stunning! x
July 26th, 2014  
Boys and their toys!!! Sorry to hear about your de-foliation Graeme, but I do like this shot very much.
July 26th, 2014  
So Cool! Or should I say Hot? How does one light up the ice?
July 26th, 2014  
FAV, this one really dramatic, lovely. Nice on black or not either.
July 26th, 2014  
hahahahahaha heart shaped ice cubes even - do I know a person or what - love it!
July 26th, 2014  
It must be as a result of thar satanic dancing. That's the only way, fire stops he'll freezing over!
July 26th, 2014  
Haha if this doesn't beat all, can't believe you have got ice to burn well done!
July 26th, 2014  
Fantastic shot! Love the snowball in hell concept! Glad your face remains undamaged :)
July 26th, 2014  
Well - obviously we need to be careful what we challenge you to do - well done!
July 26th, 2014  
And here I was thinking they were your metho ice blocks, great concept :-)
July 26th, 2014  
Sue
fire & ice ... love your commentary.
July 26th, 2014  
love this
July 26th, 2014  
Quite brilliant, is that heart shaped ice too?
July 26th, 2014  
Fabulous as always, I admire the lengths you go to for the perfect shot ;)
July 26th, 2014  
A man who rises to a challenge! Eyebrows grow back, well usually ;-)
July 26th, 2014  
Way too cool! :) I'm thinking I would need to "trim" about a foot of hair off before playing with this much fire! :) For the time being, I'm keeping my hair. That renders this type of fire play off limits for me! I'll live vicariously through you!
July 26th, 2014  
Great fire capture
July 26th, 2014  
@taffy Thanks very much, it's starting to grow back
@lilminimonka Thanks very much :)
@golftragic Thank you...it'll probably grow back twice as thick!
@redy4et Thanks - just a little bit of accelerant...
@trinda Thanks, much appreciated
@annied Thanks...it was the only ice we had!
@ceilidh I don't dance, never had. I have the rhythm of a slug.
@tracelee Thanks very much, neither can I!
@creativefool Thanks, so are thousands of others...apparently...
@dide Thanks very much, just had to try
@hermann Thanks, nope - real ice, fresh from the freezer!
@redpants Thanks, much appreciated
@pittcj17 Thank you very much :)
@claireuk Thanks - and yes, it was all we had...for some reason...
@denisefuller Thank you very much :)
@wearing0 I hope so! I can't go to work looking this odd!
@voiceprintz Thanks very much - why trim when you can just burn it off!
@michaelelliott Thanks very much indeed
July 27th, 2014  
Wow, you are a true magician! Well done! I hope you have a fire extinguisher handy when you play? We sure would miss you!
July 27th, 2014  
@lynnilou Thanks very much...what the heck is a "fire extinguisher"? ;)
July 27th, 2014  
Holy Alchemy! This is really cool - but being able to set fire to ice......are you a warlock?
July 28th, 2014  
@deak68 Thanks very much, and sadly know - I just know a good quality accelerant when I see it ;)
July 28th, 2014  
Love the brilliant colour in this Graeme...great origional idea too...
July 28th, 2014  
@tellefella Thanks very much
July 28th, 2014

July 28th, 2014  
@livvy Thanks very much, took quite a while to melt for some reason
July 28th, 2014  
Sam
You are very clever!!
July 29th, 2014  
@gigiflower Yes, we are aware of that ;)
July 29th, 2014  
Must admit I liked this one a whole lot more… :-)
July 29th, 2014  
@bankmann Why thank you :)
July 30th, 2014  
Love the colors and flame!
July 30th, 2014  
@harbie Thanks very much
July 30th, 2014  
@annied Thanks for the link Annie. Graeme, this is awesome. glad to hear your facial hair survived the previous experiment. How sweet of you to have and use heart shaped ice.
September 11th, 2014  
@bill_fe The heart shaped ice was all we had...I don't know why but was deeply concerned by its appearance...
September 11th, 2014  
@graemestevens as well you should have been. Did I mention it's a fav?
September 11th, 2014  
@bill_fe You did not mention that but I thank you sincerely from the heart of my bottom. Or vice versa. Whichever you prefer. :)
