I like the skull mask, really puts it all into perspective. At least I hope it's a mask.

[jay-d]

I was actually more excited than bored.. hehe.. and yes, it is a mask!

i think i woulda gone outside to swing fire around.......but maybe thats just me, lol

and then i would try and keep my face still to sharpen up the mask

That's pretty cool.

You know what I would do now to take it one step further?
Take a shot of my/your face with more detail in it and superimpose it on to this image, and then doctor it up to make it look real spooky.

I'm going to mess around some more and see what else I can come up with.. playing with fire is fun as long as you do it safely!!

Sorry Avi,

All I did was set the camera up on a tripod, timer for 10 seconds, f/22, 15" shutter, turned on the light, got my focus, turned off the light.. ran in front, lit my fire ball attached to a metal rod (http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1029494/how_to_make_fire_balls/) and when the shutter opened, I just moved the rod around me from back to front using both hands to wrap it around me while moving up slowly.

I took about 20 different pictures and this was the best one :( I've got a few more better ideas that I'll attempt tonight.. and shhhh don't tell anyone else!!

My sister told me never to share my secrets, but I feel bad not sharing.. so yea, keep it our secret! Even though it's not hard for anyone to figure out :D

can you set up a video as well in case it catches your clothing on fire... ;-)

great shot! I did something like that with a lighter and made a heart shape for the wife. Do you know how hard it is to get a perfect looking heart shape not seeing what you are actually doing??!!!
