The Fire Went Uncontrolled!

I fixed an SB-800 flash unit on the top of flower in order to
make it looks like a burning fire.

A small SBR-200 was fixed at the bottom to illuminate the pedicel.

Absolutely stunning, I love this! You make the ¡§fire¡¨ presented in an artistic sense. The lighting added the impact of this picture. Perfect!

... and I forgot to say... the fire is not uncontrolled, you're controlling it to perfection CM. It's on fire... because you lit the fire with your camera. You're hot.

Since this serie started, everyday is one surprise after another, always nicer than the one before. The fire is getting warmer, the hot, and now... it burning so hot... my computer screen is melting. You're on fire CM, big time. Man... everyday you surpases the day before. You've raised the bar so high... you're now showing that you're a true master in this art. You're your own man, your images are now memorable CM, Bravo.
