minus-squareSuccessful_Try543@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up12·edit-229 days agoI would suggest it’s the shadow the flame throws onto the coat of the glass maker, as they probably had a light source behind the camera while filming. Edit: It might also be due to darker orange red colour of the flame around its bright centre as seen here: Glasbläser bei der Arbeit – Deutsches Museum
