day 24: self-portrait challenge

A Merry Christmas Candle

Oh this one strikes me funny.
I learned that more ambient light is needed when really shooting from candlelight.
I had this candle so close to my nose that I felt like I was breathing the flame in and out.
It was hot and uncomfortable. Ha.
You know how they say, to newcomers filming on TV, "Stand closer together, it will not look as close as it feels."
Well, that is true with still images too.
I think the color is important o this photo.
Be careful when filming with candles. (It feels like you're actually on fire.)

Be cozy everyone!
