Light For When The Lights Go Out

I got a new Sigma 17-80 mm F-2.8 EX DC OS lens for Christmas. It is gorgeous!
And, now, thanks to my get-pushed partner, Kali @kali66 I know that the letters OS stand for Optical Stabilizer since she challenged me to shoot a low light interior photo using those low light capacities with candle light. She even provided some ideas and tips and how to do it.
Wow! Love my new lens!

Here is my first attempt, Kali! @kali66
I am planning on buying a 10 pack of tea lights today so I can have some more fun tomorrow!

Love the light and shade effect from the candle on the book Wendy, glad you are enjoying your Christmas present!

[Brandi Ford]

Oh I love this!

Lovely low key, and rather cosy, image :)

[Sue Rose]

Lovely shot and it really lends itself to being viewed on black. Great lens

[Henri Russell]

Nice photo. It is always good to have a few candles around for just this purpose.

love th copper colouring and cosy feel, its satisfying when somebody appreciates and enjoys their challenge, i look forward to more of your play with candles. keep out of reach of children lol

i am sure you could bump up the iso considerably without going into grainy territory, perhaps even take such a shot handheld, give it a try.
