Editorial Research Fairytale shoes (Brothers Grimm Snow white red hot poker iron shoes)

I enjoyed setting this shot up and my hubby rather enjoyed it to saying he was aloud to set fire to things. We have a little garden chimney on our decking and we had decided to get that alight and my intention was to set fire to the shoes by putting them in the fire but as I was setting things up decided it would be a terrible waste of the shoes. I put the camera on a slow shutter  and set about trying to get a prefect shot. At one point my fire bug hubby had the fire burning like an ici chimney and we had embers falling from the fire and burning our deck. My hubby would then come to the rescue with a hose and water all the decking down this give me an idea and when I was ready I told him to start banging the grate that was holding the embers in and this is the picture I got.

 

 

 I wanted to give these shoes a dark look and feeling about them due to the story being very dark and sinister and im really happy how these pictures have come out and feel I achieved the look I was going for, I think it looks like I took them in the pits of hell. But on the otherside I was upset that I blurred them and I feel it ruined the best pictures I had taking. I took these pictures on a slow shutter. Heres another little video on my plans.
