Candle

I attempted to over expose this candle today and although the "plain" shot did look over exposed, I couldn't resist fooling around with the adjustable threshhold on this one too. It washed out the candle, but I like what it did to the flame and the old Bible in the background.
Really Cool exposure! i like the lines from the bible and the flame! Great shot Ann! :0)

@ellimae Thank you Ellen!
@tara11 Thank you Tara!

I was really trying to get through the month without "doctoring" a shot, but this just looked so much better, I couldn't undo it!

Great effects, and it looks like a natural over exposure from the flame

Thank you ladies! I feel as if I cheated a bit on this one by doctoring it. But I liked the outcome too much to undo it!

This is very cool! The pages of the Bible make it so "antique" looking! Very nice

@espyetta Thank you MaryBeth! That's a result of the adjustable threshhold- how and why it turned it out that way I'm not sure, but I liked the effect!

That is a lot of melted wax!

@naomi Thank you Naomi! It was a rather tall candle, but most of it had already burned down during our power outage with Hurricane Sandy, so there wasn't much left for this shot!
