Photo competition # 14

[dullbird]

The subject for photocomp #14 is:

Torched!
This could burn out a few bulbs, flatten a few batteries, be very illuminating or just go up in flames. So let's get creative...

Rules:

NO post processing. Some cropping is allowed
Photo must be taken after 6.00pm on 14 June 2009
Photo must be taken by the poster
Only 1 photo per poster


Uploading starts today and ends on 21st June 6pm......Voting will then start and finish on Thursday 25th June at 6pm.


Please feel free to discuss the photo's that are submitted BUT DO NOT quote using the picture.....we don't want to see 5 of the same picture just because people have quoted and not taken out the picture link.

Please upload your photo here. Posts that are not directly relevant to the pictures submitted will be deleted. Happy snapping.

As I said it could all go up in flames:eek:

[bblaze]

metho?

[dullbird]

I didn't think you could see metho when it was lit!

I didn't think you could see metho when it was lit!

Metho burns with a quite visible flame due to the impurities in it.

Pure alcohol on the other hand ........................

I DO NOT WANT TO WIN THIS BY DEFAULT!

SO HOW ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE POSTING A PICTURE.


Please...

[dullbird]

I will when I have had a think of what to do.......

[dmdigital]

Maybe its too close to the last subject ;)
Wasn't intending too. I was more thinking of just being creative. I'm sure Lou will come up with something special before Sunday.

[dullbird]

I will have a pic I promise I just haven't had the time.....and so will NM we can always count on her to crack out the camera.

not much chance really....been wracking the old brain box for an idea and getting no inspiration at all :( Work for the next 3 evenings, so chances are slim :(
You can do it:D Just think laterally not literally;)

That's different!!!! I think I'm seeing Sun Spots:confused:

Can I ask what they are or are you going to leave us all in suspense?

[WhiteD3]

If I gave it a way it might ruin my chances.....right now I'm a 50/50 chance!:cool:

[dmdigital]

WHERE ARE THE PICTURES:soapbox:





Otherwise it will be a tie between WhiteD3 and myself:p

[bblaze]

[dullbird]

see now there's some lateral thinking

[dmdigital]

see now there's some lateral thinking
Actually I think its positioned vertical:p

[dullbird]

ok so I will deffinatly have a picture in tonight for the comp....as I want to try something later if it doesn't work out I have a back up picture I can put in.:)

Come on everyone.....its not hard i'm sure some of you have gas stoves or BBq's or butane torches or lights/lighters or something! you cant tell me you have no inspiration for a picture. The only excuse is laziness to take out 5 mins of your time to pick up your camera :p

It's an LED night light. Pic was taken in the dark, with the light on a black chair in front of a mirror. Only post processing was a crop.

It looks a lot better lit up!


I suppose I should also explain mine:

Taken outdoors at night. Stainless steel plate with a small sponge in the centre, fill with coins and then pour on a little lamp oil and metho and a long match. I was trying to get more colour in the flames, but couldn't.

Camera was mounted on tripod about 60cm away with a remote shutter release. D200, 24-70 f/2.8 > 10sec 70mm @ f/5.6
