Better To Light One Candle

This is for the Saturday Self-Challenge group, who's theme this week was "Fire." It took me one single shot to achieve what I was looking for and it hasn't been post-processed or cropped. I did try an earlier shot, but my tea kettle just didn't translate to a very exciting picture!

A perfect one too, like Chrissy's. But if both of you could share the EXIFs it would be mostly apreciated...

My shot is a 1 second exposure, f/9 and ISO 100. I had it secured on a tripod so it would be sharp. Oh, and the lights were all out in the room where I shot it - pitch black, except for the candle.

Just a note to add: I also shot it with 200 ISO film, f/8 and a 2 second exposure. When I finish shooting the roll and develop it, we'll see how doubling the settings turns out.

Thanks for the exif sharing, this is most helpful. Looking forward to see the result of the second shot.

Beautiful job, Kenny. :)

Thanks for sharing your EXIF.

quelle belle citation et sobre photo,

Excellent, Kenny !! The challenge was rather restrictive this week !!!

Oh, I don't know about that. There's something mysterious about fire, and it's always different. Almost living.

joli flamme bleue !! oui certains ont eu du mal avec le challenge , parfois il faut ruser

simple and beautiful

Nice shot and nice words !

Good exposure and and a fitting saying.

Für mich das perfekte Kerzenfoto!

A beautifully captured flame and a great message, Kenny! Well done :-))

Das sehe ich auch so.
Ein wundervolles Kerzenlicht- sehr schön päsentiert, Kenny
