Object Challenge-CANDLE

March 13th, 2011
Hi guys!! Well object challenge bowls is done! Here's some of the favorites from last week:



1. Jani @janmaki -Top
2. Corri @tink939 -Bottom Left
3. Kim @daisymae -Bottom Middle
4. May @amycapdet -Bottom Right

GREAT photos you guys!!!!

Now. Onto this week's Object..........

Have you ever thought of how crazy it is that the people on this site, or photographers and artists in general can look at the same exact subject in such a different way? That we can find one object, yet the photographs that spawn from our imaginations of that exact same object are completely and totally different.
I propose a weekly challenge! Each week, on Friday, I will name an object that we all take a photo of. Then we post them on this thread and see how completely different each of us saw that object! (and of course suggestions for objects each week are COMPLETELY welcome!)
How about this week we do...*drumroll please*....A CANDLE!!

Time to play with our lighting, time to play with some fire and smoke, and get some creative shots of those candles that everyone has around their house. Think of all the photographic possibilities for this one.........I am thinking of TONS!

Let's tag this week's can "objectchallenge-candle".

@harley84 the two upsidedown candles are cleverly photographed. Pretty
March 17th, 2011
@harley84 this is so beautiful! Nicely done!
March 17th, 2011
Love the Candle challenge, it's produced such beautiful photos.
Here's mine.
March 17th, 2011
No pretty lights in mine, but candles nonetheless.

March 17th, 2011
@wrighty that's so cool!! I love it
March 17th, 2011
seems people like the shadows that come from this candle holder... & now a challenge has been set to create a photograph with just the shadows - could be interesting...
March 18th, 2011
@wadey oooooh now that's an idea!
