Match

Match, a photo by Photomish Dan on Flickr.

This image has been a favourite of mine for some time. Dan is an amazing photographer that has a sickening talent for creative inspiration.

I think this was one of the first images that I ever saw of his when he came to the camera shop where I was working at the time for a job interview, after seeing his portfolio I immediately started playing with close-up lenses and experimenting that evening.

The level of detail in his images is amazing and whenever I try to take macro to the same standard I fail on a grand scale.

When you spend time to look at it you see that nothing has been left to chance. The background, lighting, placement of the match, everything fits and has its place to make an image that grabs your attention.

Well done Dan, you continue to inspire me with your images to this day, keep it up buddy.
