my backyard

Hi. I haven't posted in these challenges for awhile.
This would be me, free standing still for 6 seconds while lighting a match and bringing it up to a straw. I don't smoke, thats why I used a straw.

This is the 14th shot that I took of this type of shot.

Canon EOS 350D
6s f/5.6 at 50.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Thanks folks. This is, for sure, the most challenging self portraits that I have taken.

One of my favorites. The fire trial is impressive, but the lighting on your face is fabulous. - CameraShy09

Nicely done. 14 takes is pretty minimal to end up with such good results. ~ Lonnit
