It was raining agian today and there was no football on tv so I started looking around the house for things to photograph. I came up with these. The marbles I found in an old jar. So I put a white board under the glass coffee table and started playing around:

Not bad but missing something. So I sprayed them with water:

Then I thought fire might be a nice touch. So I took the lighter fluid and squirted it around the marbles and came up with this:

After a few cam adjustments I came up with this, my favorite of the day:

Thanks for looking and C&C always appreciated:wink

    That last one is fantastic! Just make sure you unplug the smoke alarm before trying this! Lol. It would be interesting to try this with alcohol, since you get more of a blue flame instead of orange. See how that turns out.
