I'm not sure any words are needed. I am just so happy with the capture of the smoke from the blown out candle. The candles were on the birthday cake my hubby made for my Valentine birthday. They were supposed to spark and some relighted after I blew them out. Linking to Macro Monday and Ruby Tuesday 2.
that's a pretty shot. :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't he so sweet to make a chocolate cake for you?
ReplyDeleteBelated Happy Birthday Carletta!
Lovely picture, making me salivate.
Fantastic macro. I don't think I have ever been able to capture smoke. That is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots!
ReplyDeleteI never would have thought you could come up with a picture of this quality just while blowing out a candle. It is great...a real keeper. The colors are lovely, too. Forecast for tonight is for snow from midnight until noon tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed for me. I really do not want to go to school tomorrow. The kids are just too restless. Your post this week was very unique and eye catching. genie
ReplyDeleteShot so beautifully. Great work.

Great capture of the magic moment.
ReplyDeleteEven the candles look edible.
I'm sure you had a two times wonderful celebration.
It sounds as if the spark continues! What a cool effect, the ruby candle still flickering. Another birthday surprise is the smoke receding from the other...
