Fire & Water

Okay... I decided that I would try and mix the water macro shots I have been taking with some fire. Here's the results which I'm pretty chuffed with. I still have to experiment a bit more with lighting and my setup, but at this stage I'm pretty happy that I'm on the right track.

Comments more than welcome.

Mark,

I would be very happy with those efforts.

Good colour, great sharpness, wonderful composition.

Thanks Gary :)

I want to work a bit more on getting the lighting spot on... not too happy with the little flecks of lite. It's fun experimenting :)

cheers

thanks everyone...

mic... very simple setup. d70, tamron 90mm, sb800, black background. running water into a glass which is propped up in a bucket to ensure I don't waste any water. water poured into our water purifier for drinking afterwards. naked flame to the right of frame and exposed to ensure the flame is visible.

cheers

Very cool (AND hot!)

What is your working distance? Have you got a glass to prevent your gear fro m getting wet? and is this all available light?

This, and the images in your other thread, are not only wonderfully captured, they show fantastic creativity. These are great examples of photography as an art form. THe real wonder of these for me is how the liquidity of the water looks like a lump of fire ravaged wood turning to charcoal.

Thanks for sharing these.
