Waterlily center is just like well tuned Stovetop,
the blue flame is clean burning gas....
Happy Friday!

It wasn't an easy task this week. After several different approaches, attempts and smoke detectors going off, I finally decided to roll up paper in a tealight holder and simply burn the paper - this is the result. Edited in On 1 Photo Raw 2020 and Topaz Adjust.
Das war keine einfache Aufgabe diese Woche. Nach mehreren Methoden, Versuchen und Rauchmelder Aktivationen, habe ich letztendlich Papier zusammengerollt in einen Teelichthalter gesteckt und verbrannt. Das ist, was ihr hier jetzt seht. Bearbeitet in On 1 Photo Raw und Topaz Adjust.
Micro (macro) photograph of a burning candle wick. Getting close enough to nearly scorch my lens!

Illawarra Flame Tree (Brachychiton acerifolius)
For Macro Monday 'Red'
Peter and Jenny's (along our street) Flame Tree is currently flowering.
The flower measures 15 mm across.
Happy Macro Monday!
When I first really noticed dragonflies around 2005, it was because of one large bright red (really orange) one that seemed to rule the swamp. They would fly at great speeds (well, up to 35 mph) patrolling their overlapping territories which covered two-thirds of the lake.
For awhile it seemed I was taking photos of Flame Skimmers to the exclusion of every other species (until competition from Widow Skimmers), but their numbers were only part of the reason. The other was that they perched perfectly on blades of water grasses, at the very end of a branch, or atop my favorite, the Horsetail Grass which has a matching evolutionary period of 330 million years! If that doesn't gain your interest, well, then I'll just count myself lucky enough to discovered them in the first part of the digital age.
Micro (macro) photographs of lit candles, showcasing the amazing art that's produced when a candle's wick burns and the candle's wax melts into incredible shapes.
The heptagon is the seven-sided shape produced, I believe, as an artifact via reflection or captured lens flare from my camera's lens.
It took me awhile to be able to expose properly for both the burning wick and the flame itself, and it's challenging to get a sharp focus as I shoot these handheld.
