So I lit a match.......

[RB]

BBQ-Boy was at it again.
I was bored last night, the moon was full and I had an itching to do some photography.
So I checked the home insurance policy.... yep it's current and away I went.

Got this shot of a match just as it was lighting up.

Don't try this at home, I nearly burnt my eyebrows.

:rolleyes: :screwy: :lol:

He-hee! Well done BB! :lol: :rofl: :thumbsup:

How many matches did you go through? What FL and shutter did you use?

[h0ughy]

Truely amazing Andrew.

You must of been bored but what an image.

[ving]

[h0ughy]

yes we would then be into the blue spectrum of light then wouldn't we?:D :P :rofl:

[Striker]

What I want to know is how many matches did you go through trying to get the shot....???

If it was me a few hundred would have been lit but I dont smoke...bad habbit.

[RB]

:lol:
You guys crack me up. :lol2:

Believe it or not I only went through 4 or 5 matches.
The first couple were tests and then I got the shot.
(minus 2 fingers and eyebrows.....smoke alarm went off and woke the whole family)

Mike this was taken at 65mm macro with a long exposure of 8 sec @ f/16 and 100 ISO.
Used fill flash as well.

I've got some other shots too which I'll post later including some grass growing for Striker....:P

Ethan.

[ving]

[h0ughy]

I'd likeone for when the poles swap over, in colour. Great Skill RB, will try that on monday night when we have nothing to do next week

[33South]

That 20DA was definitely worth the extra money. :whistle:

[acropolite]

Strike a light Andrew, you're a bright spark, there'll be no match for that one :P (Nice work BTW)

[ballaratdragons]

Andrew,

The Tracking must have been spot on! No image shift!!!

and flames run along a match pretty quick. Which tracking speed did you use: Sidereal? Lunar? Solar? Redhead?

:rofl:

[mickoking]

Neat-O Great shot Andrew :eyepop:

[RB]

:lol2: Ken, light speed obviously. :rofl:

Thanks guys. :)
