There was a cool macro shot in a photography magazine of a match just being lit, which I tried (and failed miserably) to reproduce! This is as good as I got!
As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)
@e.: Thanks e.

I think you did a great job Dave, I've tried this with a candle flame, (which I found much easier) although it lacks the different stages that you get from a match being struck.

@MaryB: I didn't get quite what I want, it's not on a par with the one that inspired me!

Actually it's pretty good, and goes perfectly with your smoking series lol so are you going to tell us what was yesterday's photo?

@Lorraine: Yesterdays was taken after this one, the matches were stuck in the blu-tack so they wouldn't set my carpet on fire! Then I took one looking down on them!
@Reza: Thanks Reza
