Our theme for the Weekly Photo Challenge this week is: Express Yourself.
Our instructions: “Today, we challenge you to show us what express yourself means to you.”
Hmmm. That’s a pretty open-ended theme. What do I think it means? I think it means I have carte blanche. 😉
And what better way to express myself than through the medium of fire? I don’t really think this photo is an esoteric reflection of my soul or anything (honestly, I’m not that complicated).
I just like it. I like the contrast between warm and cool colors, and the way the colors combine in the tiny reflections of light.
Why did I take a photograph of a flaming shot?!? I took it to go along with a post I wrote for the Monthly Wine Writing Challenge, about doing flaming shots with my husband’s 75-year old grandparents. Seriously. You haven’t lived until you’ve done flaming shots with your husband’s 75-year old grandparents.
And now? It’s tradition.
Meet the German digestif, Kirschwasser . . . it’s good for digestion! (I don’t know how it works, it just does.)
Nikon D800
ISO 400 | 48mm | f/2.8 | 2.5 sec
I used a modified tripod (aka a book) since I was too lazy to get out my real tripod!
Salud!
Really beautiful shot, amazing really. Flaming shooters with 75 year old in-laws now thats priceless.
