for week 50 of peter forsgard's 52 assignments, the prompt is 'candle light'.
28 shots and i wondered why the fire looks fake. it was too late i realized that i forgot to trim the wick of the candle. but this is one of the three best of the lot and i really like the stuff around it plus the bokeh i thought would make a nice offering for tonight.
and as is usual with my head, i see a candle and the song 'light one candle' by peter paul and mary comes to mind. such a poignant song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iXadyBSiHQ
so i thought i'd wish my friends of jewish faith a good hannukah celebration.
also for week 51 of the 52 captures challenge, the challenge was 'lights'. so it's light from the candle and the bokeh are of course the fairy lights.
I think it’s lovely. I may not have thought of trimming the wick. Next time I try to photograph a candle I’ll keep that in mind. I love the composition and bokeh.
Beautiful shot of this lovely festive decoration and wonderful bokeh. I was not aware that one needs to trim the wick for a photo. I suppose I need to try and take a photo of a candle now ;-)
