p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · #673 Ring of fire (v2.0)


Updated on 8/31 with new image. I'm looking for something a little more abstract and showing more movement in the flame so I played around with slower exposures and also used my color IR camera to change the palette (no longer blue).

Jon,

I love what you come up with without even leaving the house.

Well done!

Jeff

Thanks Jeff. You'd think I was house-bound, but I'm not, I promise. I'm trying to be a "green" photographer and minimize travel for my photos.

Nice shot Jon! This could almost pass as a flower on Pandora.

Either that or I've watched Avatar too many times.

Thanks Mike, Jouko, and Dave! I'm still fiddling with this "ring of fire" thing so I'm making a change to something a little more alive looking...I still appreciate your comments very much.

Whoa Jon, loving the reshoot!!!

I didn't notice you changed it until it popped out in the current submissions page.

Thanks Jeff. I pretty much knew my first image wasn't going to be the final one. I got that one in relatively early just so I had an entry this week, a bookmark in a way, that would force me to think about making it better until I was happy with the final result. Given that it's Tuesday night...I think I'm done.

As has been mentioned before, this is a great forum for trying things out, getting feedback (sometimes self-imposed), and learning. Fortunately, we have a very engaged and supportive community here and it's okay (and even encouraged!) to do things like...spray an aerosol can towards a lit match and take a few pictures, or have your son-in-law shoot a gun in your general direction while you take a few exposures, or roast a marshmallow on a pencil with a lighter in front of a computer screen at your desk...because that's how we learn.

It's the Devil's halo! Much more appealing than the expected blue gas flame!

"Devil's Halo!?" I wish I had thought of that! And thanks Karen, I too was hoping this would evolve into something more artistic than my initial submission, and I appreciate your endorsement.

Feel free to make Devil's Halo your own. I wrote "halo" in lower case.
