Description

[Full Size] This is a macro photo of a burning shot of rum. I pre-heated the rum in order to get it to ignite. I was surprised at how well it stayed lit. A video of the burning alcohol can be found here. I wanted to try the same trick with cognac, but the rapid cooling of the shot glass after I extinguished the flames caused it to crack and I didn't have another shot glass that would work for the photo.

The modifications done to this image are black level adjustment and exposure adjustment and slight cropping.
