This is an image of blue and purple flames from burning chemical packets in a campfire. This happens because different elements produce different colors of visible light when heated.

Very cool picture! I really love the different colors you put in the fire. Bravo!
Love the vibrant colors in the fire. I really wish the image was slightly sharper.
I agree that the sparks give it a really cool look. I’d be curious to see what a longer exposure of this effect would look like.
Do you know what chemicals were in the packets? I like the sparks in the background.
It was a good idea to get the colors in the flame, looks great!
The different colors that are produced from this chemical reaction are definitely unexpected.
I like the different colors in the flame, to me it sort of looks like a ghost.
I love how we can clearly see the sparks. It makes the image very interesting. Great job capturing the detail of the flame without getting tons of motion blur!
I really like the almost ball of fire by it self above the rest of the flame.
The colors in the fire are so beautiful, did you do a lot of color correction in post-processing or is this all true color?
