Candle Flame
I was looking around for something to photograph this evening. I had taken my camera with me all day but hadn’t even taken it out of its bag. In the evening I realized I needed to do something. There is a candle in the mouth of a bottle in our family room. I”m not sure why it’s there, but there it is. I took a few of that and then realized the picture would be a lot better if the candle were lit. So, I lit the candle and then took a few more pictures. These were taken with the flash and I managed to balance the flash with the candle flame, so the candle itself was lit but the flame still showed up.
The next thought was that it would be better with a dark background so I moved the candle to another room. I positioned it in the kitchen with the door to he back yard behind it. I bounced the flash so it lit the candle but didn’t reflect off the glass in the door. I got a few that show the flame pretty well. It’s still a little static and I think I’d like it better if, perhaps, there was the slightest wind making the flame move a little, but overall, I’m pleased.
