SPC - Fire 4
Fire definitely has a duality to it. It can be controlled, but only up to a point. Sometimes it does what it wants to. It can give warmth, but it can also burn you. It can light the way, but it also casts shadows.
People have dual natures too. And just like fire they can be ever-changing and hard to pin down. Sound like anyone I know? Maybe.
I kind of wanted to capture that "around the campfire" feeling. Gathering around the warmth while the shadows lurk about around you.

Guah, could I be "mopey emo-album cover guy" any more than this? I don't think so!

Very creative! I actually like the last one most, for the most fiery colors!
Hey I really dig these! It looks like you've started a fire in your living room. Ha ha Emo-very funny. Why aren't you making s'mores?
Reminds me of a horror movie. Very cool :o)
Fireside chats with JC. I agree with paintergirl smores were most definately needed
I think you did a great job achieving the campfire feeling! What was your light source? (It looks like it was something more than a candle.)
The "mopey album cover guy" comment cracked me up. (Or should that be cwacked me out?)
Oooh I think I like the second one best. You look almost sinister in it, slightly threatening. I am also curious - how did you get the warm light/fire effect? What was your light source?
I like the one that you chose best. Great shadow. Always cool to see outtakes, though.
Thanks everybody!
The light source was actually the same candle that I used last week. It's about the size of a mason jar. I didn't realize it until I thought about it the next day, but I forgot to turn off my computer monitor, so it was contributing a little bit of light too. I probably would have turned off the computer if I had remembered to. The candle probably seems like a larger light source because it was a 4 second exposure.
