For the few that was currious how this shot was done, and what the blue is.. well here it is.. basicly I took a blue bowl from the kitchen lite the match, dropped the match book into the center of the bowl and took a few macros.... other than that the rest is just my vision of art so thats why the corners are cut off... ok well thats it..
First thing I noticed about this picture was that the matchbok was cut off at top and bottom. The second thing I noticed was the cool blue colors. I'm not sure what the stuff in the background is. If it's removable I would've taken it out. I like the way the highlight of the flame looks on the cover of the matchbook. With minor improvements regarding background and framing, this could be a really cool shot. - Inspzil
I love the subject. I love the color. I love the title. If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, then baffle them with b--- s---. Is that all the matches it took to get the timing right? I'd a used books. I love it truly. Great techs, in my opinion. In my opinion we needed this interruption in all the seriousness and to laugh. Thanks for the laugh. I thank you. PTL After going through all of them and coming back to this you really do deserve 2 more points up to a 10. Great job well done.
I like this one... I am wondering if just a slightly shorter shutter speed would let us see more of the match head... that might be kinda cool too.. great focus ~anachronite
Ah. The Butcher Shop Steak House. Wonder if I've eaten there? Haven't lived in San Diego for over ten years. (I confess. I needed Google to figure the name out.) Interesting shot in any case.
Nice colour(s)! I like it. Good composition. Maybe a little "hard" for my taste but that is probably what you intended - overcontrasted. Could have been great in B&W, Great anyhow. High score from me. /carsten
