14 Not A Second Time

I was just playing around and got a fun capture and struggled to find an acceptable title for this to match the theme restrictions in the challenge. I realized that I would only have 1 shot at a full match book to make it look right even though I had several practice runs on books with 5 or 6 matches in them so I could get the exposure and angles to what I wanted.

The more I look at this, the more impressed I am that you pulled it off with a smart phone.

Mick I picked up a 12x12 inch (30.5cm) speckled black marble tile from Home Depot about 10 years ago for just this purpose. About 6 years ago I went back looking for more of them so I could create a reflective background but they were too different looking to really match. Should have bought 2 or 3 of them at the same time. Our dinning table is similar colored marble but I can’t control the light as well on it. Paul.

Nicely done Paul. The flame is excellent.

What is the dark surface your match book is on? I see a lot of pictures that use similar.

That would work well for the Rolling Stones.
