[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I stayed in a forest stay cabin, which means 1 thing, NO TV. In place of a TV was this fireplace. Since there was no other form of heating in the cabin, we lit the thing up and stared at it. Decided to take a 1 sec exposure of it to catch ghostly flames in action. As it turns out, the amber which was bright orange turned out to be purplish. I'm not sure how to explain it, but my guess is that purple is above orange and yellow in terms of brightness and temperature, so the long exposure made it purple. Correct me if I'm wrong.

By the way, this was taken in Pemberton, not Busselton, but there is not Pemberton in the cities list. I cropped it to remove the fireplace itself.

Good choice of exposure settings. You've given us the chance to look at purple flames.

hmmm...i am wondering how come it came out as purple..?? is it because of the White Balance settings ar? the colors is very nice..because this photo looks so unique and different from other 'fire' photo.. the white or overwashed parts at the centre add more contrasts to the photo..and feel like some neon light glowing from there...hehe.. good choice of shutter speed/exposure time .. very well taken and presented.

I love the purple fire at the bottom.
nice
