Fire by skipt07

Fire

In 1968 a psychedelic rock band Arthur Brown had a one-hit wonder in the UK and the US called "Fire". As I was burning papers this evening I took a few shots of the flames to see what kind of patterns I could capture. This was my favorite of the bunch.

@marlboromaam - Thank you very much Maggie for your wonderful comments and for the Fav!! I used my zoom lens (:

@groovygirlrn - Thank you very much Sheri!!

@peterdegraaff - Thank you Peter for the nice comment!

@stephw - Thank you Stephanie!! Maybe this tip will help. We shred all our junk mail and it lights fast and burns completely. That's what I was burning and it gives off a nice flame. There is a point shortly after lighting where the flame engulfs the paper that you get the best opportunities and then it dies down really fast! I'll keep watching to see how you do!

@binski - Thank you Robin!! I took a number of shots and out of 6 or 7 two were really nice.
