Description
Canon 50mm f/1.8
Inspired by a competition titled "Ice" i took this shot and another, the other is entered in the contest and i will post it up here when voting finishes (there are rules about it being elsewhere on the net during the time of the competition).
So yeah - this is what i was asking about on the boards. I had a brainwave about things - i knew i was going to do it on a polished black surface and that the flame and the ice/meltwater would be the only things visible. I initially tried to just light the fluid itself but it wouldnt light - crazy considering it had a "Highly Flammable!" label on it ;) So i made it a wick with some black thread and lay it in a circle around the ice cube and hay presto a burning icecube! :)
Thanks for stopping by to take a look.
Enjoy!

WHAT A CREATION!!! I love your idea. I think the wick was probably is better solution as it prob lasted longer than what the fluid would've. Really gorgeous, conceptual shot. Beautiful.
