| Ok, for those that wish to know how this was done, here goes... It's really nothing more than a pimped out version of an old parlour trick. The one where you take a lighter and roll the wheel slowly so as not to ignite the flint, then tap the flint onto a flame or other heat source and it will "explode" in midair like you see here. It took me over 50 frames to get everything right. 1/2 second exposures made the timing rather tricky. The full frame version (much more interesting, if you ask me) can be seen here: //www.pbase.com/image/21357553/original |

| A drop of water added close to the wick? This is very cool. |

| pretty. I would have taken out some of the negative space on the left and the right and made this photo thinner to accent the height. |

| Interesting idea. Cool effect. What did you use to generate the sparks? |

| Great composition. Beautiful sharpness in the shot. The burnt wax with it's ash make the candle real. Love the sparks lighting up the background. Gives the shot even more interest. |
