Up in smoke
by Willem

Blow out a burning match and try to catch a nice pattern of smoke. I got lucky on my third try.

Used one 150 W halogen light from the right, black velvet at the back and to the left.
The match in a small clamp attached to a tripod. Camera on tripod as well.
(Note : make sure there is a non-flammable surface underneath)

1/50s, F2.4, F707 with +4 close-up filter full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
