The wall caught fire after about 2 1/2 minutes of exposure. (My fault-intended to make smoke patterns. I did, but not as meant.) In my experience to clearly capture a flame it has to be stable for 1/4 of the overall exposure time to avoid blowing it out.
These were not, but I'm fairly certain that is my hand near the bunny trying to pat them out. I would have make it too, had the flames not reached the baby nightie which turned out to be make of the single most flammable material on the face of the earth. It did not just catch fire, it exploded and melted all at the same time.
I did have the forethought to close the shutter and put the slide in the film holder before going for the fire extinguisher.
Speaking of which does everyone but me know that they fire powder? I thought it would be a controlled burst of foam, had I known it would be a compressed burst of powder I would not have fired it into a flat burning wall from which I was standing about 30 inches away.
Not to say that result was without a hilarity of its' own.
