Hello to everyone - this is my first post here after discovering your site. There are some excellent photos on this site. Hope I will be able to add to them
They have been something I have been working on for a couple of days.
Any feedback would be great.

This was hot at 1/1000 sec with a macro lens. the sweeping arc in the background is the other match I used to light it with.

Same for this one,

This was the same type but with some post work done to hight-light the unburnt part of the match

And I think this finishes it off

Anyway I hope you enjoy them, and I look forward to posting here in the future

    Hi there Glenn and Welcome to the Forum.
    These are excellent clap.gif
    No. #3 looks like it's out of a Sci-Fi movie, doesn't look like a match,
    but some kinds of phenomenon happening.

    I like all these shots, I'm more draw to the three lit match shots,
    cause they look so cool rolleyes1.gif

    Awesome first post Glenn :ivar looking forward to seeing more of your work, our little Macro Forum is really growing.

    Thanks for sharing, and enjoy the forum wont you thumb.gif .. Skippy :D

    Lovely flame jet captures but strangely think I like the dead match shot the most :)
