Some asked what this was.

It's one of those wire brush dealybob drill bits. To get the glow I put it in the drill and taped the trigger so that the drill was spinning the bit. I had a six second exposure using ambient light, to get the brush parts to stand out I used a rear-curtained handheld sb-600. Crop, done.

And I didn't burn my house down playing with matches. Almost, but not quite.

PSA:
Kids, do *NOT* try this at home without taking precautions ... I'm quite serious. I was photographing the lit matches and, in between the first two shots, just treated it as 'in between shots' --- I completely zoned that my subject wanted to eat my house. Had I not lightning quick relfexes honed through years of training I might be typing to you from a burn ward.

i like a better because the editing looks strange on b around the flame it is not smooth where you darkened the background. other than that though i like the look of b better.

BTW i forgot about the burning match when doign mine also. it could have been bad.
