This thread is for photos of your Zippo lighters! Preferably taken in creative ways. Enjoy!

Here's mine:

This is one of the best tries I had...I know the Smiley face could probably have been lit up better...but the lighter was getting extremely hot after being lit so long for so many shots.

I don't know if this is very creative or not but I'll play! :D

I took me a while to find my old Zippo but after some searching in an old sock drawer, I managed to find it! It's an old one from the early 70's with a lot of mileage on it...figured I'd dress it up with an older watch and decorative ash tray.

Cheers!

Time to find mine. It's in some drawer since I've quit smoking and I was accused of still smoking when I kept carrying it around. I just liked fire.

Thanks!

I like your shot too! ;)

I'm a little surprised that no one else has joined in on the fun?

Perhaps they're all hard at work, preparing to post? ..hope so.

Cheers!

Nice shots, buyusfear!

I think I like the second and last ones best!

I might as well throw one more on here though only one of the one's in this shot is a genuine Zippo...sorry! :p

Cheers! :)

Thanks The Ghost of FM.

I really like your second shot, what lens and setting did you use?

I'm just a newb, with the typical newb Rebel xti setup. I'm looking at buying a 50mm f1.8 soon (someone tells me to wait until christmas so..)

I used my 100mm macro lens @ F/5.6 , 1/20th second exposure in Aperture Priority mode. The lighting was provided by a home made light bed box so all the light came from underneath only.

I'm very much a noob too but I have a real desire to learn and develop and this place is a great resource for doing exactly that!

Cheers! :)
