The Execution
This shot isn't quite what i was aiming for. I wanted to get the expanding gas wave-front when the match head ignites. However, I do think it looks quite interesting. Check out the very cool gasses shooting out of the match head inside the flame!
I thought I would experiment with different ways of igniting the match head and see which produced the best result. This one is 5 Amp fuse wire wrapped around the head and shorted out on a 12v battery. It worked well but was a pain to set up!
Camera: Nikon D90
Lens: Tamron 18-270mm @ 270mm
Aperture: f/18
Exposure: 1/60th
ISO: 100
Strobe: SB-23 @ 1/16th power. Placed to right & slightly behind. 30 cm from subject.
