I love photographing fires. Domestic ones, usually. On Guy Fawkes’ Night (5th November), I can indulge this passion outdoors.
But that’s a distant memory now.
Usually, the results fail to justify the effort… The ‘euphoric’ energy and fulsome nature of the flames fails to come through to the image.
But this shot – taken through the glass of the log-burner in our lounge – did fulfil its promise.
It was only when I was gazing at it, later, that I began to see the ‘Egyptian figures and faces’.
Over to you!
