A candle with the longgggggg fire!!!!!!!

[raveen2u]

This is a surprising shot I got!!!!. I like this unnatural candle light. Can you guys guess, how I took this pic?(Ofcourse, I did a little PP work in Google's Picasa). I am waiting for your guesses



Thanks for viewing...

My guess: Long shutter, moving candle, held steady at the end for a short time.

Good image!

Good try Stryker . But don't you think, in this case, there will be a long trail of the candle too along with the fire, rite???

Well it looks like there is a larger clump of fire at the right of the shot so did you hold the candle parallell to the floor then move it then angle it into the vertical position.... or did you just spray some gas at it lol

Cool photo though. Even if it looks a bit over exposed but i guess thats hard to avoid

Oh and put us out of our misery.. how'd you do it? Did you drag the match to the candle and photogrpah the process?

Good guesses, Thanatoz... Its very interesting to see people's thinking in different angles.... Lets wait for few more guesses before reveal the truth
Thanks

Can I play.......................and is there a prize
I think somebody blew gentle across the top of the candle flame and then you captured the moment

Innovative and very clever shoot raveen and certainly a great talking point. I'm very patient and will wait for the answer, but, consider taking a simple candle picture, with no special effects, cheers buddy

Yes you can play, Beachcomber. prize.... I will show the original pic (but you shouldn't kick me after I reveal the truth). You also guessed well, but do you think, fire will spread like this much straightly and this much longgg when you blow up it?

I wanted to take some pics with candle one day, but didn't have any idea about the shots. Then I tried something after switched off the fan and got it... Thanks a lot for you appreciations, Beachcomber.
