I been a bad boy, I was playing with candles in my room again...

New pic added Sunday night. This was harder than I thought it would be...

All five are nice (but I hope your mommy told you off after this!!;);););)), but the ones up close are most interesting. You'd never let your eyes go that near, so thanks for letting your camera lense go near for us and show us what it looks like!

When my brother was 9 or so (many, many years ago!), he once wanted to find out the "real sound" of a match being struck to the side of the box. Not the sound you normally hear - from far! No, the "real sound" - up close to his ear.
Whooosh, and his hair was gone way up his head!

So, don't play with fire when you're alone in your room and mommy isn't looking!
 
nice shots :thumbsup:

i realy like the last 2 photos, great colors :)
 
Thanks guys! I need to tweak the setup for portrait mode, but I thought these came out ok for a first effort. the last one was exposed too long, but I liked the blue so I shared it anyway.

LaFoto- this was actually shot from about six inches, so no hair (or other body parts) were injured while taking these pics. The carpet is another matter. What Mom don't know... ;)

Oooo be careful here.....reminds me of another old proverb:

When mom isn't happy......

;) :D
 
I agree with all the previous comments. The wick shots are especially nice. If this is your first try I can't wait to see your next shots with experience behind you.
 
... ain't nobody happy! ;)

Thanks again for all the kind comments. When I get time I'll try to get the whole flame in the frame.
