IGNITE THE FLAME

I said I'd be sharing some of my photography here so today i would. As you all know the lockdown due to the pandemic has limited movements but definitely not creativity. So the shot I'd be sharing today is one that depicts depicts that. Before I continue, I'd like to say thank you to @willspatrick for his challenge on the challengeeos app. Its a blockchain based gaming app that allows you to get rewarded while performing simple tasks based on your location.

MY PHOTOGRAPHY

It was the usual boring afternoon and the sun was setting, it was evening already and the breeze was chilling. I was with my phone, my camera was in the bag. I went to the kitchen and I saw the matchbox and then it struck me, I could do something with this, thus below.

I tried bending the matchstick which was quite difficult as I tried it multiple times. Eventually it stayed, I sat them both on the table and tried to light them. I summoned my brother to hold my my smart phone light because it was indoors. I used my NikonD3000 to shoot it.

I finally went outside, took a single match stick and stuck it into to ground to hold. I lay my camera down on the ground and got really close. I light the matchstick, set my camera to continuous shooting just to capture the perfect moment. I had a lot of result anyways, but i choose this particular one.

POST PROCESSING

I imported the both images to lightroom mobile as raw images and started editing. I increased the saturation by one stop to keep the light fine. I reduced the exposure and added vignette to center the attention to the light in the middle and woila.
