1st go at the Firewall

[RJL2005]

My first attempt at making a firewall. As this was a technical exercise I'm not looking for critique on composition but comments on the wall itself would be great

Thanks must go to Van Elder

oh, firewalls!

Looks good, i see you forgot to turn of head torch

Don't forget to shoot at high F to prevent any over exposure, once its gone its gone. So stick with low ISO, high F or use an ND and drop F. - underexposing is win with fire, with a few tweaks in PS you can recover so much data, even layering the same image twice works a treat.

Keep up the good work! stay safe

Thanks for posting this - it led me to:

which is a very good tutorial on how to do it.

More simple is this video tutorial on photographing the flames of a smaller scale fire:

although the safety advice isn't as strong. For example, I think he should also have suggested having a wet towel handy and practice using it as is done in the first video.
