Christmas candle images shows a number of attempts to capture images of a multicoloured candle in a darkened room. Playing with the camera settings was good fun. Positioning the camera alongside and then above the candle gave different views. See which ones you like best. The three images “from above” are at different heights and two have a central “pin” focus and one a broader “whole frame” focus.
