(not so) Speechless Sundae ~ Macro Photography...            
     Some years back, I went through a phase where I was enamored with strobes and macro photography. Needless to say, it did not take me long to get lost somewhere in the chasms of my right mind. (I might add, this is a scary place to be if you haven't been there.)
     After several failed attempts, the results started getting better. All I can say is thankfully, digital film is cheap and reusable.
     This was the best out of that session. Having dug this one out of the archives, I think I would like to revisit this and see if I can do better next time...
     Here's hoping you have a peaceful, relaxing Sundae...

Very cool shot. I did a bit of flame photography this past summer in my back yard. I got one neat shot out of the whole bunch.

Very nice shot, Michael. You did it with a camera and today that same shot would be created with computer graphics maybe the art of photography will become a lost art?

Hi Michael - This is fantastic, I'll have to take a look at your photo library sometime. I need a good picture of Nashville at night, and Franklin.

Mesmerizing, Michael. The smoke, of course, but also the matchhead.

One of the most amazing photos I've seen in a very long time.  Absolutely breathtaking.  Love the colors, the heat of the flame and the blue of the furled smoked.  Thanks for sharing!!
