Anyway, despite being dead beat, I knew I had to pick up the camera and feel it in my hands again.... Sheesh! Did I just say that aloud? Ok, never mind, I did - but that's the truth. I feel that I'm missing something when I don't do my shot of the day, despite all the challenges I have of actually doing it. It's like I'm cheating myself out of some great pleasure. And often, it's a narrow hit-or-miss, thanks to my low energy levels.
'Nuff said about that. This shot is part of a "Red" series that I want to do for a contest. I'm not sure whether this would be appropriate since it does have a lot of yellow as well. Let me know what you think. Would love to hear your take on "Red".
And I haven't forgotten to complete learning my alphabet. I still have to do "K" and "U". I don't want to resort to anything obvious - I've been doing that a lot lately (out of sheer laziness). Will have to scratch my head a little, and would welcome your ideas as well (although I can't promise to deliver :=P).
This shot has minimal post-processing. The only thing I've done is increased the sharpness a couple of notches. The flash was powered down to 1/64 at 50 mm, pointed directly at the candle from right of frame.
