"Flaming Skull from an ember log"

This capture is unaltered; straight-out-of-camera except rotation and cropping.

 

Spending and evening at home, I lit my fire-pit outside and grabbed the camera and tripod. Setting the camera to bulb exposure mode I took many shots of the burning logs during the evening with a remote release. A few weeks later, when reviewing the images, I tried rotating some to see if any interesting patterns were in the flames.

 

After rotating this capture clockwise by 90 degrees, I saw what looked like a skull formed from the dying flame on an ember log.
