Happy Birthday to you. by randystreat

Happy Birthday to you.

Get Pushed Challenge 489
My get-pushed challenge partner challenged me to go out (or stay in) and photograph any subject as long as your image includes a light source and of course using manual mode to set your camera’s exposure settings.
I thought this might be a great birthday card for my niece whose birthday is next week. I played a lot with the angle and the shutter speed, actually all the settings in the exposure triangle. I even changed lenses so I could get closer to have the little plastic "happy birthday" decoration show up.
Both magical and yummy shot! Very well done.

@farmreporter What fun I had doing this Wendy. It is totally SOOC and completely manual except for the white balance, which I kept in auto because the coloration on the photo wasn't correct otherwise. Thank you. Hope you like this.

@corinnec Thank you so much Corinne.
@summerfield Sorry to tempt you Vikki. Only grocery store cupcakes since you can't make just one or three for that matter. Thank you.
@grammyn I appreciate your comments Katy. Too tired tonight to dig out the stuff to make the card. Will make it in the morning.
@cocobella Thank you very much Corinne.
@farmreporter So glad you like it Wendy. Thanks again for the push.
@shutterbug49 Thank you Debbie. One little birthday candle and some mini lights I bought last Christmas.

@kjarn Thank you Kathy. I decided just to post this on her FB page. I don't think it would look that great printed on a card.
@bkbinthecity Thank you Brian.
@wakelys Thank you Susan. I was pretty amazed at how much light that birthday candle put out.
@pusspup Thank you Wylie. As I don't have the best printer in the world I decided to use another card with the gift and post this on her FB page on the day.
@digitalrn Thank you Rick. They are pretty good for grocery store cupcakes.
@craftymeg Thank you Margaret. I need to print it using a better printer than the one I have. I'll post it digitally on my great niece's Facebook page.
@bkbinthecity Thank you very much Brian.
