Agree, nice image…

It is a very common process.🙂
Hint: The image is from the macro category, ~22mm FoV. -
So, in the picture are the residues that remain on the matchbox after a match passes by and lights up.😀

Ah, very macro and very creative. What magnification is this at?
Thanks,

Magnification describes the size an object will appear projected on your camera's sensor, compared to its size in real-life.
The use of the term "magnification" is confusing for most photographers, because the results obtained for a given magnification ratio are dependent on the size of the sensor used to collect the information and the size of the screen on which the image is viewed.
What is relevant is the size of what is captured in the focal plane. In this case, we have a 22mm wide capture.
If we use FF category cameras (36mm sensor width) an optical system that provides a magnification of ~1.65x (1.65:1) is necessary.
If we use "APS-C" sensor cameras with a 24mm sensor width, an optical system that provides a magnification of ~1.1x (11.1:1) is necessary for same results, etc...

Fascinating subject and photograph. Something I haven't seen before. This must have been difficult to record.

How did you get the correct timing to capture the spark?

Acute observation of the everyday makes for wonderful images. I would never have imagined what could have made this. Beautiful.
-
The colours work well here, with the dog's coat matching the background. Well caught.
-
Yes! Excellent!
-
Like the soft, impressionist handling of this subject.

The scene was prepared and the lighter fixed, the camera with macro lens on the tripod, manual focus. I set the exposure time to 1s, I did the shutter release with IR remote control in the dark and the ignition was triggered while the shutter was open.
The magnification ratio being high, the DoF is very narrow. -
Just an icicle
but sort of looks somehow abstract :-)
-
It does have an abstract quality to it. Probably because the icicle has a bit of an odd shape. Sometimes it takes very little to make reality turn to abstract. Well done.

Lovely! I've been very partial to caustic waves recently. I am fascinated by how clear the reflections here are. They are warped, yes, but they are remarkably sharp. Especialy that bright red and yellow bit. You can still make out the floral and geometric pattern on the reflected object. The tops of the light buildings to the left and the distorted street signs. I have to agree with barondla that it looks like a modern painting. I love that bright pop of red and yellow juxtaposed with the muted colours of the shaded buildings and how that red/yellow thing seems to be confined by its own curviture. I would almost suggest cropping out the buildings to the left, to intensify that abstract feeling, as they ate the most clearly structural object within the image and it fights a bit for attention with the star of the image.

The photo is of reflections in a canal. I took quite a few of reflections in the canal and more of them will probably show up in this thread. The red and gold is a flag that was hanging on a pole projecting from the building. It's the official flag of Venice. The Winged Lion of St. Marks. The following link shows the flag (this isn't a photo I took.) c8.alamy.com/comp/CPYNAB/flag-of-venice-venetian-flags-showing-the-winged-lion-of-st-mark-CPYNAB.jpg

Looking forward to seeing more of these.

Figured you must have taken this in a dark room. One second doesn't give much leeway to get everything synchronized. Appreciate the extra how to info.
Thanks,
