method:
1. set camera up to fast setting like 1/1250 sec
2. put something where the match will be, to focus on and lock the focus
3. i set the timer for 2 seconds, then lit 2 matches of a candle (genie stylee)
4. repeat 3. until you get a good pic

Dazza,

I remember seeing a pic in the photography section of a balloon bursting, thought it made an excellent pic.

hmmm. think i might need several hundred ballons for that one, but i'll deffo add it to my list.

i have read that they can link a microphone to the shutter somehow, thats how they take those ballistic shots, might be the same for the ballon ones. i'll have a look.

thx mate

Try and do a sneeze...

method:
1. set up camera on tripod, timer required possibly
2. Big sniff of some ground black pepper
3. Raise head to ensure maximum tickle of nostrils
4. open picture in photoshop and edit any coagulated shot snot
5. use the erasure tool to reveal the underlying spray
6. flatten the image
7. change to hue green
8. viola !

Quality shots Dazza, do some more of Eddie Lizaaaaard
