Flames are too blown out exposure wise for me, what did you shot this at?
I've had good results with flames using a 10 second exposure although I can understand that may not work here as Adolf may have gone up in smoke in that time.

Nice idea, good luck.

What aperture were you using? This is f9 at 1/5 sec.
I think it was around F16, I don't think it was any higher. There was no other lighting in the room. I can't check because I didn't keep the shots, I was just messing around one evening. It was a coal effect gas fire but I would guess a flame is a flame.

OK, last words on this. Your fire was indoor gas (relatively "cool") whereas mine is wood, outside and a breeze blowing the flames about. There is probably some scientific reason that requires different settings for shots in these situations. Anyway, I'll stick with what I have because it took plenty of time to think, set up and shoot. Probably not the most satisfactory outcome but then again the best laid plans.....
You did a good set up job for outside with a breeze! I have tried campfire shots and find them a bit tough.
Interesting how you captured the highest flame going right up through the subject of the image. Great concept.
Probably the most auspicious example of hatred of the last 500 years--at least since the last of the crusades. A great capture of hatred, turning the idea of book burning on it's head. A well done technical shot.
