Fade Away

Cyruc, Did u take this shot with a macro lense? I think it is very dangerous for CCD. dont it?

I find this image meaningful. Your thoughts are much appreciated,

thank you.

excellent!

PAIN FOR A LOST LOVED ONE!

GREAT!

This Picture reminds me of a seen in The Lord of the Rings movies.

All 3 pictures that you have are very nice and interesting and unique. Well done.

 

DK.

 

Excellent! I also feel like as David Koens have mentioned, it reminds The Lord of the Rings - I.

 

I REALLY like this photo - well done. The best fire photo I have seen yet!!!

Light and shapes make this mysterious and almost scary. Very good.

Excellent shot. I tried something similar, with considerably less success... From the series I like most the "Heat Sink" shot. How long was your exposure ? Best regards, Peter

Thnk you so very much for pausing, looking and commenting.

Yes, as I have mentioned in the detail section of this image, I've used Tamron 180 mm macro. The camera was about 6' away from the fire. Thank you for stopping bye.

You have reflected my exact thoughts on this image. I find some thoughts and character portrayal in the remaining part of the burnt and dismembered log as it observes the melt down and fading away of it's member, in the dimming light!

Yes, Stepping back and looking at the image, I can see him standing at the ledge, with the light and fire spewing behind him, holding the ring saying 'the ring is mine."

Great photo. I too thought of Lord of the rings when i first saw this. :)

Thank you Marty for your input. I should have flipped the image horizontally to reflect more the shooting angle of the scene.

Peter, here' the shooting Data for Heat Sink image, I should have put them in the data field:

ISO 100, F 22, exposure 1/1.5 sec, Compensation -.5 EV with spot metering.

Thanks again.

You asked me to comment on your replies to this one of the series. Now that you know that I am female you may understand my not commenting directly to the obvious 'member' connotations in the image. So, without pussyfooting around the question, I will say that I don't see the 'fade away' part of it. It appears to me to be a very hot phallic image in the abstract. Not fading away at all. My reluctance to speak about this factor in no way diminishes the impact of the execution and portrayal of passion, rather graphically, too, in the abstract.

 

 

The technical aspects are faultless. Slow shutter speed, slow film and small aperature and focal length suitable to the macro lense. My technical terms are sadly lacking, but that is the way I describe them in my mind. I don't know what a faster film may have done to this. more blur perhaps? and ruined it entirely. Just wondering. :)) It seems to me you have captured the fire perfectly as you have done it here.

 

 

I have read the Lord of the Rings at least 4 times, and can see the connections there too. The longer I look at this the more things I see in it.

very exotic image, but im puzzled by what it is?

Wow! Talking about a dirty mind!! :) Now that you have mentioned it, have to admit, I see things.... I am pleased to see this image means different things to different people.

Kind regards.

What a pleasant surprise and a privilege to see you stop by. I guess it means slightly different things to different friends, if you read the feed backs. It's a macro shot of a broken off, burnt off twig from somewhere inside of the fire. The part in the foreground is the twig sort of outside of the heart of the fire and the part with the light shining on it from below is the part of the twig that has been severed and burning off.

Kind regards.

Hi, I think that I can touch warmth. I have a project with the same subject, so I say it's excellent! (impressionante) & thanks for your comment. Good luck

Cyrus, thank you for your explanation. I am glad the exposure was so short, in my attempt at shooting fire, I used 20 seconds. The speed of the smoke and flames is probably quite high to account for diffuse effect seen in your exposure. Best regards. Peter

Midonestam yeroozi yechizi mishi!!!!!! ;) ;P :P just 4 kidding! khosh-halam az inke in 3 ta image shoma dar "toprate" garar gereftand.
