Wow a bluey!!! Thanks for all your comments and votes, really appreciated. I am on holiday in Mallorca at the moment but I just had to find an internet cafe to see how I fared :)

I took about 40 shots of this to get it the way I wanted. Basically it is 3 match sticks in a clamp. You can actually see the match stick behind the first one, which unfortunately gives the front one an oversharpened look to it. I dipped the match sticks in olive oil to get a good amount of smoke. I used a lighter in one hand and the shutter cable in the other hand and lit the match sticks behind the first one so that I had enough reaction time to take a photo when the first match stick lit up. I used a black background and two soft boxes from each side.

So, now I am back off into the Mediterranean sun :)
