I was chilling after a day's fun and laughter with some good friends over pretty good food (although I say so even though I was the cook), and had no intention of doing any photography. But the camera was lying right there on the ottoman, under my nose, and I decided to pick it up and play with it. I took 3 shots of this piece of the wreath illuminated by a burning candle.
This shot was taken with the camera resting on the couch, and is straight out of the camera except for a crop and watermark added in post. If you're wondering why I even bothered to post such a careless shot, it's because I didn't want to miss another day. I am now over the 200 mark, and want to see this project through with as little disruptions as possible.
But come to think of it, the light isn't bad, although the image could have definitely been better composed. Ah, well! Not everything that comes out of the cameras of the masters is a masterpiece, so I can't expect that to happen to me either (although I would really love it to be that way!) and I keep telling myself that so I don't lose heart.
250 mm, f/5.6, 10s, ISO 100, Manual Mode, AWB
