Match Stick Mid-Light

I'm new to macro photography and really dig photos of insects with multifaceted eyes but I don't have a desire to shoot them myself. I've been playing with household objects so far. Here is a wooden match stick photographed while still being lit. I used a single Yongnuo speed light off camera to provide the light for the match itself. Shot the image at 1/160 to get the flame the brightness I wanted. I used an old Bushnell 28mm lens and Vivitar 2x macro converter adapted to my Fuji X-T20 for the shot.
