Just messing around with some matches, tripod, k5iis and a 100mm macro.
Most of the shots were around 1/5000 - 1/8000 exp, f8 - f13. Manual focus.
I have mirrored 1, 4, 5 and 6 as the shapes they made appealed to me.
Cc is most welcome.

Super work! No.3 is my favourite. The mirrored versions are fascinating though.

Most impressive set. Well photographed and a different take on subject matter.

Best regards

The problem with digital photography is that there are so many pictures to see.

So it's all the more impressive to see something original.

Well done.

#6 certainly has something coming out through the crack.

Fire and flames are difficult subjects in general. How did you ignite the match heads, since I am assuming the match sticks were secured in a holder of some sort?
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Yes they were in a piece of wood with a small hole drilled in to hold the match. I just held a lighter under the match (out of shot) till I thought it was going to light and then started shooting. I didn't always time it right.

Thank you - it was well worth putting up with the 'duds'.

It's kind of a fun thing to try as no two come out the same.

Very interesting, no 3 for me although the mirror images make interesting viewing.
