Blue Smoke
Buy prints of this and other work at ImageKind; my website: David Lindes Photography
More of what a match can look like.
Prints available. Please contact me if you'd like this photo hanging on your wall, or resting on your desk.
This image was spotlighted on www.utata.org/, and it quickly became my most-favorited image, and has my highest fav/view ratio, as well as being listed as my most "interesting" image. Thank you to all who helped with that, a little or a lot.
And, flickr fans, now you've done it. Inspired by the fact that this is now my most favorited image on flickr, I've created some products with this image (some of which also show Chemical Reaction) on my CafePress storefront. Maybe that's cheesy, I don't know (and I don't yet know how the products will turn out, as I don't have any for myself as yet), but hey, you could help me celebrate by buying something... It would help with the cause of buying me my own macro focusing rail, so that I might take more shots like this. :-)

I love this shot. I love the movement in the smoke, which reminds me of someone dancing.

Congrats on the spotlight! Cool photo!
Josho (81 months ago | reply)
Very cool. Literally and figuratively. :)
lindes (81 months ago | reply)
Wow, cool. Thanks for letting me know it was spotlighted, and thanks Irina for the spotlight! And thanks to all for your kind comments, and your faves!
Josho: heh, yes... except that that match-head I'm sure is still pretty warm. I think you can even see a hint of red glow in a couple of spots. :-)

lindes (81 months ago | reply)
Thanks all!
Oh, and an FYI on the group invites: I'll consider them after the month expires on Utata's no-more-than-5-other-groups rule. Since it was spotlighted, I want to take particular care to keep it in that pool for now. I'm glad you like the image, though. :-)

great macro shot - very inspiring
lindes (81 months ago | reply)
Glad to see it could be an inspiration... And you're reminding me that I want to find some matches with differently colored match-heads! Feel free to let me know if/when you get any shots directly inspired by me. 'twould be an honor.

Krowtography (81 months ago | reply)
i hope you don't mind me using it as desktop background for a bit...this is an incredible picture.
lindes (81 months ago | reply)
Can't say as I'd complain about that, so long as you let anyone who asks know where you found it. :-) Thank you (all) for the comments and faves. I'm glad you like it.

Giandomenico Ricci (81 months ago | reply)
This picture is amazing! the color and the detail are super
lindes (81 months ago | reply)
Question for anyone paying attention: Is it totally dorky that I created stuff with this photo on it? Feel free to say yes, if that's your opinion. I'm also hoping to check out how it prints as an 8x8" or 5x5"... so prints may be available soon, if anyone wants one. I could maybe do 12x12", too, or something else if it's desired -- just contact me if any of that is of interest.

coolie. This shot transforms a simple household object into something more....
lindes (80 months ago | reply)
Thanks, all.
Essjay: they're not, really, but I do appreciate you expressing your hope... I hope I'll get some sales, too. I may kill the cafepress thing, though, 'cause really, I'm more interested in selling prints (e.g. what I have on ebay currently), and I'd worry that they'd compete against eachother. But I'm rambling... perhaps too much so. Hmm. [ponders deleting all this. leaves it in... for now.]
Anyway, thank you. All.

lindes (78 months ago | reply)
Well my thanks go out to you, and to all the 90, and even the commenters and viewers who didn't fave, as well. I feel like this image is really appreciated, and I definitely expect to be doing more match pictures at some point... perhaps even soon. Thank you. :-)
