Candlelight

My third attempt at a candlelight photo. Not sure how I got this effect.

[Annie Charalambous]

Very nice!

@indiannie_jones - thank you

[Matt Cruse]

That's lovely. Sometimes we just get the right effect without knowing how!

[robinwarner]

beautiful

[Sheri Jeanne]

Cool! It looks like a candlelight sunset over the ocean.

[Craig Tull]

I just read your profile as 51 years old, mental, health nurse.
Nice shot :)

[Bugik]

Lovely reflection... looks like the candle is facing a river.

@electricwriter - thanks Matt, a surprise result can be nice but its difficult to repeat if you don't know how you did it :-)

[Kathy A]

@robinwarner @sherijeanne @bugik - thank you ladies

[Kathy A]

@craigdtull - thanks for inserting that comma, I must have forgotten it :-)

[Julia Metcalfe]

I don't know what you did but that photo looks beautiful. Well done!

[Kathy A]

@jools - I have no idea either :-)

[hellcat]

It's got a very cool effect.

[Joe Ciras]

Great effect. Looks like a giant candle beside a lake.

[Kathy A]

@hellcat @cirasj - thanks guys

[Carlita Edwardo]

I like it, when you remember share the love.

[Kathy A]

@misschuff - thanks Carlita. I just took the same photo on every setting available on my P&S - now which one was it?

[Carlita Edwardo]

Aperture: f/3.3
ISO Speed: 400
Focal Length: 4.1 mm

[Kathy A]

@misschuff - that's all gobbledygook to me. My camera has manual controls but I don't know anything about them so its on automatic all the time.

[Carlita Edwardo]

you're too funnie ... hey btw I'm coming to Sydney on 8th for a photo scav hunt ... want to join in?

[Kathy A]

@misschuff - what is a photo scav hunt? That's my birthday weekend and as yet I have no idea what's planned but give me all the details and I'll see what I can do

[Carlita Edwardo]

send me and email [e-mail]

[Deb Mayne]

Reminds me of a sunset reflection!

[Deb Mayne]

@misschuff Scav hunt?

[Carlita Edwardo]

@debmayne interested? email me

[Naomi]

This has a lovely 'homely glow' to it.

Re: Thank you so much for your millions of comments! I can't believe you went through all my photos, that must have taken you absolutely ages!!! And Beavers is like younger scouts (boy scouts?), I help out there evey monday evening :)

[Bev]

Surprises are the best photographs

[Kathy A]

@naomi - it took me a lot longer than I imagined it was going to but I love looking at other peoples work so it was fun. The younger boy scouts are called cubs here.

[Jennifer B.]
