I spend hours reviewing my shots, and sometimes comb through them several times before seeing something. These are primarily cropped only. There are no enhancements made to the images themselves as far as changing the shapes or basic view of the fire. Please let me know what you think! I am adding the last photo as one that I did some color editing on through photoshop.

I see pareidolia in clouds and bark. I love what you found while playing with fire. Very interesting, Jbederka. No
since letting cold days rob your fun when you can use your imagination.

Take a copper pipe and put sections of garden hose in the pipe before you start the fire. The colors will amaze you.

These would be really saleable as large prints. Every one is so evocative of so many specific images. Well done.

I, too, like to shoot fireplace flames but yours blows mine out of the hearth. These are terrific- so clear and sharp. What f-stop, shutter speed and ISO are you using?

Nice series. I am a heat treat furnace operator and I am around fire all of the time, but I've never tried to shoot it like this. 1720 degrees Fahrenheit would not be too good for a camera!

What great captures of fleeting moments. They are very enjoyable and inspiring. There are amazing things right before our eyes if we take the time to see them. Thanks.

Thank you so much. The fun thing about these is that I never see the images when I am shooting, only in review.

No, even the fireplace gets hot and I need to break away!
