Organic Chemistry 101

An attempt at this week's Macro Mondays theme, Flame. I wanted to simulate the look of a Bunsen burner. I was not able to find a macro composition within the size constraints that i liked.

 

Propane utility torch, Erlenmeyer flask.

 

Speedlight with narrow grid and yellow gel, directed at flask.

 

WARNING: Do not attempt this at home. The flame is in front of the flask - a wire guaze mat must be placed under the flask for direct heating.
