Bottled Fire - Shay

I was able to catch the wiley flame of the candle and bottle it up. Who dares to uncork it?


Image created using 6 candles to illuminate the scene. A piece of aluminum foil behind the bottle allows candle light to be reflected through the bottle.


The setup can be found here

F717 - f/4 - 13 second exposure - ISO 100 - manual white balance off the candle. full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Great glow - But its almost like a good magic trick, sometimes its more fun not knowing the secret!!

That is so clever how you used the tin foil. I like the warm tones, too. Another one that's like an oil painting!

Very nice, Shay. It has a baroque feel for me. I'm really impressed with the set-up! Bev
