An extraordinary image, captured perfectly.
This week was tough to choose with so many great images posted. 'Match' is a worthy winner of our Picture of the Week.

I missed this shot when it was posted...
If I were a moth I'd be flying into the monitor right now! Was this one shot? was there any post processing done? Great picture, would be great to find out

Hi all, I just posted on the shot itself, but I'll give some more info. I didn't have a clue that the shot was selected for pic of the week, I'm very ashamed and shall check back on this site twice daily
![]() ![]() First of all, thank you very kindly to choose my modest efforts at a pic I tried to reproduce. I saw a similar shot at photo.net wich was actually brilliant where this one is at most a good try. See for yourself, it's one of Martin Amm. Anyway, the setup was a small gripper used for welding electronics to set the match in. I put it on a table edge and placed a tripod wit the camera in front of it. I used a D300 and a Tamron 90mm f2.8 macro, at first with extantion tubes but I took those off after a couple of tries. Lighting the match was done by touching it on the back with a bent out paperclip wich I heated in a flame of a candle. The lighting was tricky as the match tends to move slightly when touched. But after a couple of times it worked pretty well. I took a series of shots with the camera on continuous high speed, but the problem is that the front gets underexposed. So I took a SB600, put the camera in commander mode (love that, no wires ![]() I started out with a familypack of matches and used quite a lot of them. Funny thing is that it took less matches then I expected as after each shot you get the chance to 'dial in' more. Normaly shoot nature and wildlife, this was a whole new way of photographing for me, sitting down nice and warm, cup of coffee, bit of music. Liked it a lot and will try more in-house shooting for sure. Cheers!! Nils |

Thanks Nils.
It's great to know how it was done. It's a prime example of the advantages digital has with ease of experimentation....without having to send off loads of film etc. A great shot
