    That last one is pretty cool, I'm really wondering how he did it (make a drop of water and take the picture when the drop feel in place?) But i like the first one the best.

    That looks really neat- you could probably get a decent picture even if you didn't use a high tech camera!

    I love the one with the lighter and I wanted to ask if you have them in higher quality so one could use them as background picture!

  22. Anonymous MEOWZ 

    Wow … those are freakin' awesome!!!

  23. Anonymous illusionlover 

    neat-o. I think I've seen something like that before - the still shots of water hitting things. but I never attributed the shape to a flame before! way cool!

  24. Anonymous illusionlover 

    (adding to my last reply) the gas stove one is upside down - I remember doing that last week in the kitchen. (most of these look upsidedown, I'm just not sure how they did the match or candle one!)

    hey.
    this site is pretty awesome, but honestly i think it'd be nice to give more credit to the artists who create these illusions. for example, u could tell ppl that u can find more of this guy's work at http://leoplat.deviantart.com/
    otherwise keep up the good work

    Ooh...it was a photoshop. Just figured it out by using blue's link. I knew it was too good to be real. Very nice still.

    Sorry to burst everyone's bubble BUT...it is not photography. These images are built in 3D CGI by Platinum in Brazil. Although, alot of stuff they do is a combination of 3D, Photography and Photoshop. I had the pleasure of working with them on a project. They use Maya and 3D Studio MAX. Check them out at http://platinumfmd.com.br

    Okay, here's a challenge, I don't know if it's any way possible but if anyone can achieve this is would be AWESOME: make flames look like water. Just a crazy idea! Try it and have Mr. Vurdlak (Vurdlak) post them on the site.

    That's incredible! Wow, that's so clever. Even if they are photoshopped or whatever (although I believe you that they aren't), they're such awesome, beautiful images.

    Major kudos to the creator :)

    this is like the best thing EVER!!!! dont know how you did it but it is still amazing!!!!!!

  51. Anonymous Anonymous 

    Wow. That is incredibly cool.

  52. Anonymous Anonymous 

    THAT LOOKS SO COOL!! I like the lighter one the best..

    Btw.. i think the guy who made them used liquid nitrogen or something on a real flame and then it just turns into ice. (except took it at the exact moment so there would be little floating bits)

  53. Anonymous Anonymous 

    It's quite simple actually.

    All these pictures were taken up-side-down, and the camera they use takes lots of shots in a short space of time, so they can pick out the most flame-looking picture.
    They spray a specific amount of water out in a very specific manner and photograph it.
    e.g. the gas nozzle in the lighter is replaced with a water nozzle.

    Very cleverly done, and it must've been very tricky to do the last two.

  54. Anonymous Anonymous 

    the just used a fast shutter camera and let water fall onto whatever they wanted the lighter one is tricky tho

  55. Anonymous UNIMPRESSED 

    big deal. All my lighters have water flames. If these flimsy images impresses you, you should see my water fireplace- it keeps the house warm and cool.
