Well actually I could have called it Hot Woman on Cocain To be fair I didn't have any control over the shape of the flame and the figure in it is just a lucky shot. I made a small fingersize bowl of tinfoil in which I poored some (I think you'd call it white spirit. In my younger years I knew the powdered milk stuff some people throw into their coffee gives quite nice bursts of flames when you poor it over a small fire. Well I didn't find any of that, but after some expirimenting with salt and pepper and stuff...powdered sugar seemed to work as well. So that's what you're seeing here.

Settings: 100mm macro(don't think I used extension rings here), ISO 100, f10, 1/200s. One 430 EX2 flash on the left side in the back, about 1ft away at 1/64 power. A cardboard box with some tinfoil on the right front next to the lens to reflect the flash. Background was a simple piece of paper.

Anyway, there are probably still a lot more and a lot better shots of fire...keep em coming!
