I have to ask how you light the match and then capture the moment?

I wish i knew .

The way I did it was with an old black t-shirt as the backdrop, a match sticking upright into some bluetack, then made sure the focus was on the matchstick head. Lit another match and just held it close to the other one, with my other hand on the camera (continuous shoot mode). When I thought it was going to light I pulled away the other match and held my finger down on my camera.


I then just played around with shutter speed, I assume the shutter was too fast to capture the head of the other flame, but could capture the lighting of the new match quite well.

The exif data should be embedded on each photo.

I'm no expert, Never used processing, Don't have any fancy cameras or equiptment. But I do love to look at photography around here and love trying to take nice images. I'm considering buying a decent camera soon though.

Here are a few shots from my holiday last week which are not cropped, and not processed images - Straight from a Digital Camera.

@Hungryjoey Just looking at those I think you should consider getting a decent camera - you have a very good potential eye. The one thing I would look into tho is composition - I can see you have the rudements of a good eye but there are little things that let them down i.e with the chain you cut out the top of the loop and the board walk you cut off the corner of the start of it. Otherwise stick at it, I really think you're onto something there!

Thank you! I noticed that my self about the shots that I didn't realise that I missed some of the object, I would normally look at these things but I still thought they were ok shots as they were but room for improvement.

Here is one other shot I took, again I see i missed out on the composition.

I like this 1 but I guess it needed a wider angle to look its best.

A couple from my last trip out.

 

[Oxygen]

Today: Richmond Park, London
Canon 400D + Canon 10-20mm - Wanted to capture the wind in the grass as the movement was engrossing.

Mucking about with PP and learning mono conversions tonight in Lightroom.
Clockwise: B&W, Colour, Bronze, Lomo styled

 

[Mr Jones]

^^
I think the 4th one (Lomo styled?) is the best looking, gave me the best feeling on the wind and grass

A little picture I took couple of weeks ago;

Couple from today, nephew's 6th birthday so we took him to Middle Farm if anyone knows it.

 

[Kona*]

Just a couple from last week taken at Steetly Magnesite in Hartlepool - I was without my DLSR that day so all photo's taken on a Nikon F75 using Ilford XP2 Super. Tesco seem to have split toned the photos when they were scanned but I think they look cool:

Apologies if they are a bit big, let me know and ill edit the post with the smaller pictures.
