Project Thursday: Fire

We've been working on coming up with new ideas for photos, and this is one that we thought would be pretty cool. This is just a test photo, so it's not the greatest. However, we plan to do more photos like this. The image shown here is a long exposure that we took a couple nights ago. We are basically waving fire through the air during the entire duration that the camera is taking this photo (10 seconds). The fire is inside a wire ball that is attached to a wooden handle. To start the fire we just put a wick inside the wire ball, put oil on the wick, and lit it. 

Waving the fire around in a circle isn't that unique, so we plan to do some more images that involve fire. This was just a test to see how it would turn out. I think it's pretty good for only being a test.
