I guess a bit obvious, but I love fire - real pyrophile LOL
I shot this on a black baking tray with a black BG.
Place the ice cubes, add some liquid lighter fluid all around, light it and start shooting. I had to try several times, because the initial flame was always too big (outside the frame), and then as it died down it got a bit boring and too small. I liked how in this image it almost looks like the ice cube is burning. There may have been some lighter fluid on the ice cube of course.
It was really hot that day, plus the flash and the heat of the flame, so the liquid in the picture is water from the ice cubes.
I shot this in the studio with a flash off to camera left.

this is AMAZING .. almost miraculous how you have created this image ..
way beyond my meager talents .. would love to know how you were able to pull this off ..
being a bit of a pyrophile which i'm thinking is like a pyromaniac .. would probably help as you could have a great understanding of fire etc ..
anyway .. many congrats on getting on your profile page .. third place ..
and first place in the challenge ..
a magic image Gaby .. :)
