It's been so long since I've set something on fire - at least 2 weeks! These lily's keep popping up in the garden and personally I don't like them, so it seemed like as good an opportunity as any to get the lighter out. If all the other flowers in the garden witnessed this then I hope they take it on board as a valuable lesson about where, when and how to bloom in presence. I shall be watching and insubordination will not be tolerated.
Best viewed against the black if you have the time.
I am a confirmed and certifiable nutbar with a penchant for skulls, bones, blood, guts, fire and anything slightly peculiar and mostly bizarre. I also...
@shannejw Thank you very much - always appreciated. I have to admit I was more interested in the warmth than anything else today! @pinkpaintpot Thanks very much - they'd better be saying good things about me. I can see them all gathered in a circle at the back of the garden now...I might go and eaves drop ;) @jayberg Thanks very much - I love a good fire for all the wrong reasons ;)
@gigiflower I did - I took a leaf out of the Book of @vignouse and used petrol this time. It worked really well as the lily filled with fuel and then went "woompha!" I liked it a lot. :)
well a few things came to mind when I saw this - some I won't divulge but the word phallic comes to mind - oops - I don't dislike flowers but I must say this treatment works very well and does suit these lilies - nice job!
@gigiflower It's exactly the sound it made. Someone was walking past the fence out on the footpath when I set it alight as well...I think my not so muttered expletive caught them off guard. Either that or there's an echo in our neighborhood that I was unaware of until today.
@annied There is a certain phallic quality in them...I think I'd be going to straight to the doctor at the first sign of flames or burning though.
Do you smoke after sex?
I don't know, I've never looked...
:)
@annied I'm sure if I rushed into the doctors surgery to complain that my lily was on fire more than eye brows would be raised. I'm not sure how I could explain the charred patch on my jeans either.
@gigiflower@annied There's nothing in the least little bit imaginary about me ;) I figure if you're going to say we're god then I should fan the flames of religious outrage a little bit as well.
Hmmm. I like lilies - they are one of my favorites. So I probably wouldn't burn them. However, with that said, I think this looks pretty cool. I like the distinct outline of the flame. Nicely caught!
@rajan Thanks very much - I was quite pleased with this one as well for a change @tabarlett Thank you very much - I was quite surprised when I downloaded the shots @hermann LOL, there is no shame in burning lillies :) @voiceprintz They did look quite chilly...I only had their welfare in mind...
@trinda They'll never stop me! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! @chippy1402 Not at all...bizarrely enough I'd forgotten to burn anything... @andrewkru Thanks very much :)
@aecasey Thanks very much - I'm still trying to work out how set myself on fire for a photo. I've had my hand on fire but I really want to "do" my head...somehow
@graemestevens@gigiflower I saw this in the early hours of this morning but didn't have time to comment then: as soon as I saw it, I knew that you had used petrol. It makes a nice image because it's the rising vapour above the object that burns, making it look as though the flames have been superimposed and giving a 3D effect.
When I did it, it went WOOMPH - no echo here obviously but you have to be damned quick to capture the image as it burns away quickly... I just kept my finger on the shutter button and chose the best of the 20 or so shots in post-production.
@vignouse Thanks very much - I did notice that I had to be remarkably quick...and I'm not usually @kali66 LOL, absolutely. He can try all he wants but he'll never take me alive...oh wait... @lilminimonka Thank you very much...and for the follow. I apologise now if at some point I make you violently ill or suspect about about my sanity :)) @redpants Thanks very much. According to parents...yes, very much so :) @dougapic Thank you very much @ceilidh I think so, and they would only look silly in blankets @wearing0 LOL, thanks very much - my neighbours are constantly on edge
As long as this is all your lighting up. Hope you're still doing well with the other. Hope so. Given you the get your butt out the gutter prep talk already if not. Anyways moving on....
@rosiekerr Thanks very much - I couldn't care less what the flower thinks... ;) @roseolivia Thanks very much - no need to be concerned. I have a hose ;) @newbank This is all I'm lighting up. there have been temptations by my will of iron remains strong.
@newbank I know...feeling horrifically self righteous @bill_fe Thanks very much - looking for other things to set fire to now. Where's @gigiflower? @tellefella Thank you very much
I do fear that beautiful Calla Lilies were actually harmed in this shot... but I must say... it was worth the brutality ;) I've got a burning project brewing myself... Hope to light my project up with it very soon!
Great shot, but I don't think I should show this to my husband - it might give him ideas. Left to his own devices he would rip out all the flowerbeds and just have an enormous lawn. I can't leave him in the garden unsupervised for too long, especially when he gets out the power tools.
@pinkpaintpot Thanks very much - they'd better be saying good things about me. I can see them all gathered in a circle at the back of the garden now...I might go and eaves drop ;)
@jayberg Thanks very much - I love a good fire for all the wrong reasons ;)
Do you smoke after sex?
I don't know, I've never looked...
:)
can you have a conflagration of woomphas? I think you can because I like both words a great deal
or you could just fanny and flounce about in your tutu
@brigette Thanks - I was quite pleased with it as well for a change!
@annied Never turn down an opportunity to flounce.
@tabarlett Thank you very much - I was quite surprised when I downloaded the shots
@hermann LOL, there is no shame in burning lillies :)
@voiceprintz They did look quite chilly...I only had their welfare in mind...
@chippy1402 Not at all...bizarrely enough I'd forgotten to burn anything...
@andrewkru Thanks very much :)
@pusspup Thanks very much - turns out petrol is better than I thought!
When I did it, it went WOOMPH - no echo here obviously but you have to be damned quick to capture the image as it burns away quickly... I just kept my finger on the shutter button and chose the best of the 20 or so shots in post-production.
And finally, awesome image - as usual.
Didn't notice I wasn't before, but as of now I am also following your project! :)
@kali66 LOL, absolutely. He can try all he wants but he'll never take me alive...oh wait...
@lilminimonka Thank you very much...and for the follow. I apologise now if at some point I make you violently ill or suspect about about my sanity :))
