( f/11 105mm 1/125 sec ISO 200 Nikon D300 )
Theme is stripes. For this photo I used two sided scrapbooking tape and cut it into little pieces. Then I placed the matches on them as perfectly as I could. I placed a flash off to the side about 10 feet away to get the well defined shadows. Here is a tip: the closer the flash, the more diffused the shadows are. Then I raised my camera up on the tripod almost to the ceiling and got up on a ladder to take the photo. My wife volunteered to put on a striped shirt and let me photograph her, but then I took too long and she took back her offer. I'm glad she did. That would have been a boring shot probably.
