|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Burning shoe shot (twist on the flaming bat/ball) Mark Peters, Photographer Highland | IL | USA | Posted: 11:40 AM on 09.07.09 ->> I've seen many samples of the ball/bat on fire shot for seniors, and read different tutorials on how to do it. I'm shooting my nephew's senior portraits soon. He participates in track and cross countrys and I was thinking of doing something along the lines of spikes on fire. Obviously he won't be wearing them - just holding them up. I was thinking one shot with the flame, then having him blow out the flame and capturing the smoke coming up. I am going to test this with some old shoes of mine first but I was curious if anyone has tried this and if there were any special considerations around controlling the flame, especially since the shoes are not leather.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
