Love the shot of the match igniting

Hi there Peter / Anthony (I never know which to use)

I think the first image is amazing - how did you light it and get it into focus so quickly?! I like the second as well, the patterns that nature can give us are fascinating.

Keep posting more great images,

Cheers,

Ralph.

Re: Couple of images using the EM1

Two very different but equally excellent photographs. I think that's the best match ignition image I've ever seen!

PS I'm moving this thread to Foto Fair as it doesn't demonstarte any particular qualities of the E-M1 and it deserves a wider audience.

I really like the match ignition & the ice one is also interesting. I assume this is with 'Grainy Film' art filter?

I set it up on by taping a peg to a flash stand, my camera was on a tripod. Using a macro lens I focused manually (using focus peaking & magnification). Using a wireless remote & shutter set for 10fps as I lit the match I pressed the button

Actually I only converted to mono, then added clarity to sharpen the edges. Other than that as was taken

Re: Couple of images using the EM1

two different and enjoyable images.

I've tried and failed enough time to be impressed with your match result (am I allowed to say its "Striking" )

and I love the creativity of the second

I love the artistic look of the ice shot but that match shot is just brilliant. Exactly the sort of shot I like as it was done using no special gear just lots of inventiveness and probably perseverance. Well done Peter, that is definitely my proposal for shot of the year.

Re: Couple of images using the EM1

Two very different and cracking shots. 10/10 for nailing the ignition point on the match.
