Photo candle, or rather a photo a burning candle - these pictures are often just needed. Burning candle can convey a lot of shades of mood, emotions - grief candle, candle sadness, candle reflection and rest.

Generally candles can be used by themselves or in combination with objects. Especially good pass candles different epochs. If you are available a few items from the past, the photo-composition with candles and an old postcard or vase can be very spectacular.

Any photographer accumulate over time photos with burning candles - sometimes it samples, sometimes things are made to order or as needed. So I have accumulated several dozen photos with a candle in a couple of years, that I can share with you - maybe someone come in handy.

by the way, while there is time to tell a little, I was filming a burning candle. This is not a lesson, but simply an exchange of experience. As you may have noticed, items I'm doing a little bit - on the occasion of, but when I have time I try to replenish their stock imagery such collection.

How to shoot a burning candle

It's simple enough. At home, burning the candle can be removed in two ways - with flash and without it. It is better to shoot with multiple flash. I used three, and sometimes two outbreaks - and drawing a Fill. Two is enough. A tripod can not be used. I placed above the diaphragm 10.

Why is it better flash photography? The explanation is simple - draft. Lighting in the apartment bad, so if you increase the dwell time, the flame obtained blurred and unsightly due to fluctuations in the fire. When you take pictures of candles, the need to narrow the picture contrast and the fire, not blur.

Another note - it does not matter, if the photo will turn out the light, remove excess light and shadow is always possible to add the processing of.

Still, why do you need a flash or continuous light sources are good - good light will help to get rid of noise. This also applies to the fire itself, and candles, and surroundings. The use of pulsed light allows the light to this problem to a minimum and to shoot at ISO 100.
