I had this little bottle from Canada and thought of putting some isopropyl alcohol in there along with a match. I caught three out of about 10 tries. 18-55mm at 43mm. I tried this again the next day Sunday and went with this one.

Just to clarify after the challenge, I didn't cut off the flame. It is actually the flame of the match that I brought into the frame while the shutter was open to guarantee I caught the reaction of the alcohol. I did have some other shots that I hit the shutter just after I threw the match in. And everyone is right I should have used the portrait orientation. Thanks for the comments everyone.

Gorgeous colors and the maple leaf looks great. Shame the top of the flame is gone though.

this would have been much stronger (IMHO) if you'd shot it in portrait orientation and not cut off the flame ...

Nice! I thought about doing this shot (though not with this bottle!) Very well done. Curious how you did the ignition - that's what I couldn't figure out.

Very cool idea. I think I would have made it a vertical crop though.
