Lit with:
580EX (honeycomb snoot) @ 1/2 , 45 deg behind subject camera left
430EXII (flagged) 1/64, 45 deg camera right
The little black bit in the foreground is from the top of the match when it caught alight, I was going to crop it out but I liked it's smoke trail :) (5 years and 2300 days ago)

No problems I under exposed the ambient light using my camera settings and it was the flash that lit the suject. I placed one behind with the snoot to make the smoke stand out. The background is actually the white tiles on my laundry wall but I have underexposed dramatically to turn them black. The flagged flash stops the light from spilling onto the background. I used my 100mm macro lens, 1/200 sec @ f10. Then for post all I had to do was in Lightroom 3, an adjustment to the blacks to make the background darker and added some luminance to the blues. Hope that is more helpful

Sambel Uleg (dictionary; Sambal Ulek) mean chili grind which mixed with some sea food, rice, and vegetables. That is original Indonesian food, not a trademark or else. (5 years and 2302 days ago)

This one is taken in Greece, and bossted up the contrast a bit so that the picture looks more clear. (5 years and 2303 days ago)
