A Flame

Same September - same setting - long shutter speed (5 seconds) and light painting.

The light painting is great - love the effect you created. And the light of the candle is beautifully captured - very soft and warm.

Beautifully captured!!

[Sally Ings]

@aspada Thank you so much!! I wasn't very happy with any of the pictures I had taken! I chose this one as I liked the way the texture of the candle holder came out. I've not been very inspired or motivated recently but I cannot give up as I'm so close to reaching the goal that I set for myself. Your words will really help to keep me on track! :-)

[Livia]

A fabulous capture of the light! I love the texture of the candle holder too, it's very interesting. 8)

The texture of the candle sets this one apart from the average candle shot. You captured it very nicely!
