A bit of fiery fun

Shutter speed was 22 seconds, bulb mode started and stopped while the sparkler sparkled.

Very clever rendition of a Pepper.

Cool idea, superb execution! It looks like an ad for a Hungarian restaurant

Love it, Brian, it was worth your garden shed burning down afterwards!

Thanks everyone!

Fortunately nothing burned down, but the living room did end up smelling like a fireworks factory ran into a pepper roastery

Very nice! See, you don't need photoshop to superimpose.

Option two is a stiff wire or support poking through the backdrop and hidden directly behind the object. I had thought that might put the background too close and into 'firing range' so I opted to hang it so I could have more separation. My original idea was to have the background show up more, as in one of my test images shown below, but I ended up liking a larger shower of sparks. I'd probably opt for a hidden support if I did it again and damn the background to a raging inferno.

Note this old, scabby, dried up model was used as a stand-in before bringing on the fresher and curvier talent.

Yep. I just said that. There's a reason I don't photograph people. They tend to have feelings.

And you tend to set your subjects on fire. At least warn them in the model release!
