Good evening Hiveworld. I hope life is good and you are enjoying your week.
I've always had an obsession with fire since an early age. I'm not sure why but I get transfixed by its beauty and could stare into the flames for hours.
Recently I have been creating the effect of fire using light painting techniques and a macro lens on my camera. Here's how I do it....
I partially burn a length of old pallet wood until it is charred and covered by beautiful textures and fissures. I set my camera up and focus on the wood. Turn the lights out and run a single strand of fiber optic along the cracks. I gel the torch orange and the light from the fiber optic illuminates the cracks giving the impression of burning embers. I usually finish the shot with a quick sweep of a blue torch from an oblique angle so as to really bring the textures of the wood alive.
Here are a few more created using the same technique which I hope you enjoy.

Cool, can I be the first to suggest you may have a hint of pyromania? 💥😂
I was a nightmare when I was a kid. I'm not surprised the net curtain is my fave lp tool 😂😂
