[TheForge] Oxy/Propane reprise

[Marc Godbout]

Thanks, Paul. I look forward to seeing the very first photographs ever
taken of an oxy-propane flame. You'll be breaking new ground, never
before attempted.

Seriously, though, also try taking pictures without the filter.
Cameras have a pretty good ability to filter by themselves. With a
dark background, it may adjust around just the flame. Auto-focus might
still be a problem, but maybe a metal background near the flame would
work.
