With a digital camera, tripod, and Photoshop!

That's my guess.

Digital camera: yes
Tripod: yes
Photoshop: only to crop, nothing else

Obviously this was done by having some really really small people drive a really really small motor vehicle over water so fast that they set the water on fire.

I would also guess that you used a medium to large format film camera, on a tripod and loaded with Fuji Velvia that you had to custom order.

Perfectly obvious.

Layed down two long squirts of lighter fluid, placed the truck in the correct position, and lit the lighter fluid.

Or, you rubbed the truck back and forth really fast until the floor caught fire. I could go either way!

[AlBaron]

I think the correct question should be: Why did you do it? :)

[Labarum]

For whom did you do it?

Dont forget your foot in the photo!:scared:

Nope on both! But I tried the second...you know...just in case.

Well, yeah. But this shot was the best of them all. I wasn't really going for the perfect shot, but just experimenting. Although, the foot might give you a clue.

Some questions have no answers. :biggrin:

[letterk]

Another hint...look at the headlights.

[analog_kid]

How did you get that toy truck to go 88MPH?!?!?!

[Harkonnendog]

small dragons clinging to the undercarriage?

That is not really your foot- the truck is actual size with figurines that are six feet tall- under the hood is a balanced and blue-printed 396 re-bore and the flames are real- Elementary my dear Watson!:detective:

Well, the flames ARE real.

Not sure how you did it...but I hope the kids weren't around to get any ideas.

[OldSaw]

My guess is you have a burner from a gas grill just beneath a sandy surface. You then detuned it to make yellow flames instead of blue flames.

[letterk]

OK...here's how.

D70 on tripod. Toy car on stone patio. I opened the shutter (using bulb) and dragged a lit lighter behind the back wheels to create the flame. Then, I used a flashlight, with a homemade snoot made out of aluminum foil, and placed it at the headlights pointing at the ground. Closed the shutter. Cropped in Photoshop, and VOILA!

[farace]

Excellent. Not unlike the famous photo of Picasso drawing with a flashlight.

[letterk]

Yes, and there is quite a bit of light-painting with flashlights going on right now. I may try some shaving related examples shortly.
