friiskiwi: This is confusing, do we have an object (other than the candle) in the photo or not? ( 5 years and 3029 days ago )
xogx2002: I'm taking this as the candle can be the only source of light. ( 5 years and 3029 days ago )
Momof4boyoboys: Not sure...it is not exactly as I wrote it...I did say "photo a scene or object using just candlelight"....but then it says up there that no other objects can be present?....can you clarify mods please? Thanks

( 5 years and 3029 days ago ) friiskiwi: MODS, could we please have a clarification, Is this contest for a candle photo or something lit by a candle??? ( 5 years and 3028 days ago )
Contest Moderator: Upon thinking this over (I'm just as confused be the contradictory description as everyone else...LOL) I do believe that the ORIGINAL intention and spirit of the contest was to photograph an object using only candlelight...Therefore, another object would have to be present, otherwise, this would be just a "Candles" contest. We will allow other items into the photograph as long as they are lit ONLY by candlelight... ( 5 years and 3028 days ago )
karaflazz: humans are allowed? ( 5 years and 3028 days ago )
Contest Moderator: The guidelines say Objects or Scene...we will keep this contest to objects, not people... ( 5 years and 3028 days ago )
karaflazz: OK ( 5 years and 3028 days ago )
friiskiwi: Thanks ( 5 years and 3028 days ago )
friiskiwi: There are a lot of lovely shots of candles, without a lit object. Are they on theme? ( 5 years and 3027 days ago )
Contest Moderator: Candle holders are seen as a part of the candle and do not count as the extra object which is needed in the shot. ( 5 years and 3022 days ago )
ibmaxed: Any hint of being creative and the entry is removed...mmmm ( 5 years and 3022 days ago )

Beautiful photograph, but what is the red and blue flares?
Lens flare I guess from the candles.
Great! Great! Absolutely great! I love it!!!
Great shot, though would like to see it without the star bursts
Wonderful! I personally like the star bursts.
Would it be too much to ask what settings you used to shoot this?
Not at all....
F:22
iso 50
93.5 sec exposure!
Since I am new at this and recently got a new camera, please tell me how you know that. Is it on the camera when you take the picture or is it a setting you adjust to those numbers?
It depends of how you want you photo to be.In this case i used f:22 for two reasons.
First,to have the maximun dof posible (all the subjects on my composition to be in focus).That means that even if the book & glasses are in the foreground & books/candles are in the background,everything is in focus with no dof.Using f:22 all so creates the "star" ffect on the candle light.Most cameras have the A mode (aperture mode)that adjusts the sutter speed depending the f number you use.I mostly use M (manual mode) to adjust eveything on my own.
author, thanks for explaining what you did in detail...I find it fascinating. Great photo.
