Thanks! It was a 3 second exposure, f/4.5, ISO 160. It took about 15 attempts to get the shot I liked, mainly because it was difficult to move the candle around but to keep my face still enough for 3 seconds that I wasn’t a complete blur.
That is a great shot. That partial stillness must have been really tricky. I set light to the end of my hair the other day with a tealight, so I’d best steer clear of naked flames when it comes to photography.
ooh! really nice! how long was your exposure? and darn you — you always get things so perfect. look at that spiral!

Ah. I was wondering how you did that. Amazing.
