I got the idea for the photo from a high speed video of several things, including a lighter being lit.

The flash is coming from the right, I lit the match using a lighter and shot the photo halfway through the ignition.

The first three pictures where made possible by the help Nuno gave me in his home’s garage. I wanted to explore a bit more the classical smoke photos, but I didn’t have the patience do to it (bad week…). Anyway, I’m happy with the results!
My comments:
1. An excellent and creative shot. Very cool indeed.
2. I love this one, it is, I believe, my favorite shot of your week’s work. It has everything and it is very well executed. You should submit it to a magazine…
3. Again a very good shot. Not as powerful as the previous one but still very good. I like the red and black combination.
4. Very very good! Lucky you for getting invited into the kitchen!
5. Excellent shot one more time. I think it could benefit from having a bit more chin and a bit less of the roof, but an excellent shot nonetheless.
Great work Mr. P.!
