The Phoenix

[petemc]

Can you see the Phoenix rising in the flames? (No OcUK Judges kthxbye)

Thats pretty good - talk about a cliche, looks like a Phoenix to me.:thumb:

Love the way the sparks are travelling in all directions, including full on towards the camera:shock:. Hope you had something protecting your lens from all those sparks though

So what is/was it, and why were you there?

Thanks for sharing:thumb:

like that Pete..havent done mine yet, the fireball over the water just didnt happen in th end, time got the better of me, though i will do the shot sometime to see if it actually works, lol

Its a macro shot of a sparkler. I used my extension tubes on my 100-400 so I didn't have to get stupidly close

good shot there, well done

Out of interest what sort of working distance was it?

 

[petemc]

I was probably about half a meter away.

Great shot Pete - erm, might be a silly q but is the left (or right for that matter !) a mirror image of the other side ?

Just seems a little too identical on each side of c/l ! Or was this intentional to achieve the phoenix effect ?

 

[petemc]

Yes it is mirrored. I mirrored it for fun and was like "woah" so kept it like that
