the match project

[stroker]

I would like to see what you guys can do with a simple prompt. strike a match in a completely dark room and shoot it during different stages of burning, from the initial spark to the fading glow.

Hmm... I'll have to go buy some matches.

Interesting idea. Just need to find a way to hold both the burning match and camera so that it works out.:lmao:

All without burning yourself, or the house down! aha

I shot these for last week's fight club.

Nice shots! I had never thought of using a full book of matches, nice twist on it. When I tried striking a match in the dark I really liked the lighting effects it had on my hand and the contrast with the background.

use a roach clip to hold the match.

I wonder if there is a way to use burst mode and a timer on my camera.. set it to 20 shots maybe? Its a sony cyber-shot DSC-H10 P&S if any know..
