Weekly Assignment #60: Open Flame

edited December 28, 2007 in Assignments
This week task is fairly straightforward: try to capture an open flame (please, no gas ranges!)
Your entry can be a SOOC shot or a careful composite (in which case please also provide original frames you used to construct it). In any case, the idea is to deliver the magic of ever-changing low-temperature plasma called "fire".
Fresh shots only, as usual.
Let's get some flaming going one!
"May the f/stop be with you!"

    I tried to link it...then I tried to paste it...I couldn't get it on there other than what I did. I went to FAQ and they said I should have a browse...I don't have that.

    Do you know what I am missing?

    Use the "image insert" button insertimage.gif and specify the image url, that is usually availalble via Properties if you click on the actual image.

    I sent an email to the support team. I got this back

    I had a go at open flames in IR, and managed to surprise meself!

    What surprises me is the color of the flamy bit. It looks perfectly normal, through an IR-pass filter!
