We just discovered how to make colored fire and I could sit for hours watching it. If you sit around the campfire much maybe you've seen it. It's hard to capture, but this was my best attempt.

You captured it very well in my opinion. Dancing in beautiful colors and looks so graceful too. Nice work.

I know there are powders one can use...but I seem to remember when my family was camping when I was a child, that we burned certain kinds of pine cones, or fir cones, or hemlock cones, or something... Impossible to resist photographing the color... and I imagine very difficult! Thanks.

Well, we've used pine cones and powder and different chemicals, but it's fun no matter what....Great capture, my friend. It's very hard (in my opinion) to get a good fire photo...so....



WELL DONE!!!

How do you make a coloured fire then? Pine cones and powder, or is that just PJ's recipe? I feel like I'm there looking at this shot Hilda!

~ OK Hilda... I'll just chime in with WELL DONE too, lol. I'm always saving fire shots so thank you for my first colored one to collect, lol. I recall as kids there were special pre-packaged logs that we used to burn to get colors...but you'll have to tell me how you did this please.

This is pretty cool, Hilda but I would also inquire as to your secret - or I could just do an internet search.

Pause while searching..................

Such a cool shot! Brings back childhood memories of my father tossing something magical in our fireplace one winter and creating colors like this. Wonderful capture!
