A Flame too Far

The last thing that I clearly remember is holding a lit match to a combustible material. After that it's all a bit hazy, but from the look of the evidence there was something of a "ka-blamo"of epic proportions...this goes a long way to explaining why my socks have holes in them.

This is two nights running I've had to give you a Fav... I'm running out of them - so it's time to behave.

[Rosie Kerr]

This is a very cool shot... really like the smoke coming out of the tops of the boots, with the blue lighting. You probably did not mean it this way, but it reminds me of the lost miners in Turkey.

[Graeme Stevens]

@vignouse I really appreciate them too, but I'm also running out of thanks so I may just have to take you advice!
@rosiekerr Thank you very much. Admittedly I hadn't looked at it that way...

[Kim]

husband, husband, where for art tho husband?

[Lisa Villella]

Ok, that's frickin' cool! How did you do the smoke out the top of the boots. As a side note -those are very big boots!

[Georgia]

Wow! Love that photo, the blue makes it outstanding. Fav.

[Ken "Tasian"]

Another really cool shot…love the layout and the lighting…and the narrative is 'priceless'.

[Graeme Stevens]

@kimkyra I'm up here, should be down any minute now
@eyeamlisa They're my favourite Doc Marten boots too...it's dry ice...
@georgiat Thank you very much
@tasian Thanks again :)

[Annie D]

I do hope there were no feet hurt in the making - i love the blue

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied Thanks very much - the feet seem okay, I'll let you know when I muster the energy and enthusiasm to stand again

[Marnie]

Crikey Graeme, looks like you've vaporised yourself this time. Love it!

[Harbie]

Ouch!! I love the smoke!!

[Graeme Stevens]

@golftragic Thanks very much, more singed than vaporised!
@harbie Thanks very much

[Marnie]

@graemestevens If you come through this ordeal OK, maybe fire-walking is the next stage?

[Graeme Stevens]

@golftragic If I'm going to try that I'll need to look into image stabilisation I think...

[livvy]

Gogo gadget rocket boots. Beautiful tones for such an Erie setting

[Graeme Stevens]

@livvy Thanks very much

[Jessica]

So cool! Dry ice, I love it. The color really makes this picture.

[Debs Stott]

Ha ha, funny. Excellent shot, love the blue tone and the splashes of yellow an red.

[Newbank Lass]

Fabulous shot..... Glad to see you lived another day to tell another tale.....

[Graeme Stevens]

@jess1204 thanks again :)
@dibzgreasley thanks very much
@newbank thanks - so far so good

[Rachel Withey]

A step too far? Love the dry ice, fantastic shot

[Margaret Obey]

LOL, but then I have a cruel sense of humour. Did you get blasted into space or are you still stuck on the ceiling? Fav

[Andrew]

great shot! what next??? I'm excited to see where your fire journey takes you!

- a fire extinguisher may be a wise investment haha!

[Creative Fool]

The mastermind strikes again - I so look forward to your picture in my day! Love the effect and the lighting! :)

[Julie Urbahn]

Great shot.

[Sam]

Can't believe you burnt the Docs!

[Debi 🐩]

Great creative shot

[Graeme Stevens]

@rachelwithey thanks very much
@ceilidh thanks, I landed about half an hour later
@andrewkru thanks, I have no idea what's next but where is the fun in having a fire extinguisher???
@creativefool thank you so much :)
@jules13 thanks very much
@gigiflower Are you as mad as me??? I'd never burn the Docs, despite having "several" pairs...never, never, never
@wearing0 thank you very much

[Sam]

@graemestevens Thank goodness for that. I was just about to stop following you ;)

[Graeme Stevens]

@gigiflower if I did that I'd stop following me too!

[Rachel]

Mad professor, I like it! :-)

[Graeme Stevens]

@roseolivia That seems like an aot description of my average day :)

[Peggy Scroggins]

Totally awsome. First time I saw your photos. Hope you don't mind if I follow you. Looking forward to more great shots and humor. FAV

[Graeme Stevens]

@miata2u Thanks very much, you're more than welcome to follow me - the more the merrier

[dh (delena)]
