flaming shot glass - a photo on Flickriver

flaming shot glass

            Active Assignment Weekly November 12 - 19:  Fire Fire!

WIT:  I've always wanted to try those flaming drinks, so I got a shot glass, filled it with vodka and tried to light it.  I did not have overproof alcohol, and vodka is only 80 proof, so it wouldn't flame up at room temperature.  I microwaved it so it was a quite warm, and then lit it with a long barbecue lighter. It flamed up, but I didn't realize it since I had the light on, and slightly burned my finger.  The next time I turned the light off, and saw the blue flame.  In post I added a texture to the background to give it a more old-world feel; I also cropped and tweaked the colour to make it a bit more blue-hued  in the background.  

Warning:  don't let the flame go for too long, or the glass will break from the heat  - I lost this glass, unfortunately...
