A glowing advent candle surrounded by backyard bokeh magic
Although we are not religious, in December we like to have an advent wreath with 4 candles on the kitchen table. I took this shot of a burning candle with an ultrafast f/0.85 vintage X-ray lens made by JML Optical. The depth of field is very shallow at about 5 mm. With this, the lights in the backyard form big bokeh bubbles that almost fill the width of the frame. The checkered pattern on the bubbles is from the screen door.
I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
