<\/a>For this week’s Shooting Challenge<\/a>, I asked you to capture a photography by the light of just one candle. Your response, as always, was remarkable.<\/p>\n

\n“Taken with a tripod mounted Canon XSi with a Canon 50mm f1.8 and an extension tube. Exposure was f\/2 @ 1\/50s, ISO 320.”

\n“This was “shot” using my Canon 7D with the 50mm f1.8 prime. Tripod, ISO 800, 1\/6 shutter, f2.8. The only light in the image is from a taper candle inserted into a disassembled MAG-Lite. To keep the flame from melting the reflective lens of the flashlight, the setup was aimed up and the final image rotated.”

Most Fiery<\/h1>\n

\n“The shot was taken with my Canon S90 @ F8, ISO 400 and with a 15sec exposure on a tripod. To achieve the blur, I adjusted the head of the tripod downward and back to it’s starting position quickly at the start of the exposure.”

\n“I hung the statue upside down to make it appear that the light was coming from up above. Using long term exposure I quickly moved the candle to light the side of his face.”
\n[Ed note: This image subverted my expectations completely, re-imagining soft candle light as a crisp backlight. Also, I have a soft spot for The Incredibles, silhouettes and the color red<\/em>.]
