20090212 - Fibonacci and Tea...

...lights :)

For: Four Colour February

Also for TITTC: Fibonacci

Hmmmm - trying for red - I wanted red tealights, but they're all scented and cost a bomb compared to the white ones. So white it is, along with a red wall in the bg and a red gel on the flash.

I think it needed more candles to get better resolution of the spiral - but one more 'step' would have needed another 441 candes - and a MUCH bigger table. lol
As it is, there are 273 tealights.

I know I already commented on this image, but I just can't get enough of this one. It reminds me so much of the film PI. The red is impeccable, and the overhead light is fantastic. Well done!
