Default Playing with Fire

After finishing up the yard work and getting the accumulation of brush in the fire pit burning I decided to grab my camera and experiment with fast shutter speeds...








There are more in my "Fire Study #1" gallery

Those are really amazing...I tried some fire shots on Easter this year...and they weren't bad, but not this good.

Spectacular shots. You can almost feel the heat from the flames. I love the way they look transparent and the patterns the flames form. Thanks for sharing .

Hot,hot,hot.
I love these burning shots Steve.
Great shots.
I suspect different timber/material would give you a different flame pattern.

Steve just had another look at your photos.
the third shot the timber looks like it might be treated timber if it is don't burn that stuff.
You do not want to be breathing in any of the fums from that stuff.
