Inferno
Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch’intrate
(Abandon all hope, ye who enter here)
– “The Divine Comedy” by Dante
Firstly, the shot. Absolutely love fire, completely a pyromaniac. Call me a cracked up teen if you will but isn’t there something so brilliantly mysterious, beautiful and powerful about it. It’s pure energy. And then there’s the finality of it all because at the end fire is the ultimate destroyer and that’s why I love the quote so much. It’s the line with which the Gate of Hell is inscribed according to Dante.
Secondly, Scotland!!! Had a great time and got some pretty stunning shots on the days when the weather was great but I’m not posting them yet because I’m far too lazy to edit them but I should post at least one this week. This one was taken in the hotel but very little processing was required.
And finally, for all those who didn’t visit yesterday (Shame on you!….nah, just kidding ;-)) please check out the shot and give me feedback on that as well. Also, I was considering putting this shot into my Top Shots category but I need you guys to give me the go-ahead.

not bad sammy..it really catches the eye..btw it reminds me of “kerosene boy”..lol
fire is indeed a wonderfully enchanting thing .. i can stare at it for many hours!
nice shot! nice words 😉
Never tried it, but i presume its quite tricky getting the exposure correct. Benefit of doubt goes to you, hence a great shot 😉
I love fire.
Not easy to capture….but like in nature i stared at it for some minutes…:) Well done!
You can’t beat a dancing fire…as for fires in general I always assume that fires and hoisepipes are a guy thing. I could stand all day washing tings down and watching things burn. Phil
So, you took this one at a hotel…what did you do, burn the place down?
You’d be a good person to take camping.
There absolutely must be a pyromaniac who feels it is their duty to keep the fire going NO MATTER WHAT!
I like this picture. You really captured the warmth of your subject.
=;-}
I have a fireplace and I haven’t done much to shoot fire. this is looking pretty good to me.
Quite nice, weelcaptured, likey.
Love fire too u know… I dunno if its my own imagination or what but i seem to see a face in the flame… like the appropriate quote too…
P.S. Intend on killing u Choksi…
