Lantern

Uploaded: November 06, 2012

Description

Hurricane Sandy knocked out my power for 30 hours (thankfully only 30!) So I got to enjoy candlelight for two nights, and when another
BPer suggested it was a good opportunity for photography, I went for a capture of this 'lantern', lit by its own candle plus 2 more off-frame.

Exif: F Number: 8, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 200, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 32.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 7D

Great clarity...I really like the flame being hidden... :-)

Way to make lemonade...!!! #10407271

Thanks, folks! And thanks Bob, for the shooting motivation. (And I didn't want the blow-out white that the flame would create, if I included it in the comp!) #10408113
