Fire

Sitting home and bored, so I cleaned the glass on my pellet stove and started experimenting with all kinds of settings on my camera shooting the flame in the stove. I opened everything wide open so I could get the biggest flame I could. Thanks for all comments and critiques.

Flames have always been hard for me to catch like this. Looks like the secret is to have a fairly slow shutter speed.

I have always thought photographing flames would be a neat little project. You just proved it to me now I'll have to figure out a way to do this with my fireplace. Nice!
