Strike A Light 365/189
Sometimes somebody will post something and you just have to give it a try :)
This was one of those, so thanks to Karen ( www.flickr.com/photos/karennfld/5201501912/ )for the inspiration and for posting a tutorial on how it is done. This can be found here : www.wonderfulphotos.com/articles/macro/matches/
All the info needed is there in the tutorial and dont be put off if you dont have a macro lens, I used a standard 18-55 kit lens for this and dont think it suffers too much because of it. This is about as close as I could get and is the full frame apart from a very slight crop at the bottom to give my preferred 4:3 format.
Lighting provided by the match itself of course, plus a Yongnuo YN460 dialled down to 1/32nd power and triggered by a Blazzeo SLT-4 radio trigger.
Have included a setup shot below which I hope will be useful.
