The moment of a matchstick igniting.
I liked the “heart” of the flame in this one.Very good. Your little experiments are getting more and more interesting. Noticed the heart before I read you saying it. Not sure how your set-up was arranged but maybe the match itself is a bit too bright? As in, the ignition should be the brightest in the picture, no?
Well done though,don’t think I could pull off anything like this myself so thumbs up for getting it done already! :)sndipo wrote:

come on mister-g – explain? :D
how many matches did you go through to get this?
:lol: :lol: Thanks Sndipo & Aoluain.
I clamped the match & used a small gas blowtorch to light it. Once I could see the head getting wet (liquidising sulphur), I fired the camera using a shutter release. Ringflash used to give me a shutter speed of 1/125th sec. Plenty of failed attempts & burnt fingers involved. :lol:
