An apple on fire!

Luckily this Red Delicious apple isn't really on fire
This was done with a 60 second exposure (no software except for resizing and for my name + frame). I set the apple in a dark room and manually fired the flash (580ex) which was not attached to the camera and set at 1/16th power. Then put the lens cover on (the camera still thought it was taking a photo), and moved the apple and lit the candle. I placed the candle right where the apple was and removed the lens cover for less then a second and ended the exposure.
How do you like it?

Very clever! Good to see people still achieve these effects without software these days.

Thanks However it was Hot

troypiggo,
Thanks
For me, its more enjoyable to get the camera to see the way I want it to

I like when a thread fully delivers what it says.

Excellent, agree with Troy. To heck with Software!

Thats amazing..and the way you did it. Great job!

I would have made it simple, and set the apple on fire. Excellent shot. I am amazed that you got the flame EXACTLY where it needed to be.

What an awesome idea, I think you nailed it. I like the image even more knowing now how you set it up. I have been working with some double exposures in BW film. I like how this turned out. Great job.

Thank you all, glad you enjoyed the photo
The apple tasted good too, luckily not hot!

NFRs2000NYC,
The hardest part was getting the candle to burn down to the perfect height

A very cool shot. Well done.
