 Got the idea as I was driving up to my gate and saw the literal "spam" in my mail box. Some fill flash from the right off camera and fun. Did not play for long to get the real desired effect I wanted but will have to do for now. Had fun doing it and glad decided to finally start taking part in the challenges. Old cars was very frustrating with limited opportunities....but then, its about taking part in it.

Nice shot!! Maybe a faster shutter speed would give a better shape to the fire... but you had a nice idea and made a good job here!

Nice idea, unsure of the crop, or that "0" is in the way. 5

Wow, this would be cool if the flames weren't so blown out and had a little detail. Nice idea. Guess its a one time shot huh?
