For all the craziness going on this world this year. The uprising in Middle East, war in Libya and the natural disaster in Japan (+ nuclear disaster) and NZ. Light a flame of hope for a better tomorrow for everyone affected by them.
Please see my website for this and other photographs as cool greeting cards - www.fuzzchops.com - thanks!!
The sound of sirens kept us awake tonight as a new building went up in flames just round the corner to us. I photographed this at appx 2am.
This candle is actually a light tan but when I got close enough for a good macro shot...without melting my camera lens...it showed up as a deep orange.
I've been meaning to try a fireball shot for a while but never quite got round to it. Well, today I finally did!
I think I was a bit heavy handed with the fuel, so the flame took a while to burn down to a size that would fit in the frame. You live and learn. Once all the fuel had burned off, the ball survived to fight another day.
The ball is held up from behind by a skewer that goes through the black paper background (which is far enough away not to catch light).

I'd always wanted to try the igniting match photo. Today was the day. It was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be. I didn't burn anything, which was nice. I actually got a good photo on my first try, but of course I couldn't stop there. I found the faster shutter speed gave a better effect on the match head. Clamp, focus, strike, click (click-click-click-click-click)!
30 Day Photo Challenge: Macro
Inspired by a recent post on the DIYPhotography blog.
Shot with manual 80-200mm zoom in "macro" mode. Will experiment with other lens choices on the next go-around. My cheap tripod isn't as solid as one might like when a heavy zoom lens is involved.
So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas (War is over)
For weak and for strong (If you want it)
For rich and the poor ones (War is over)
The world is so wrong (Now)
And so Happy Christmas (War is over)
For black and for white (If you want it)
For yellow and red ones (War is over)
Let's stop all the fight (Now)
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
So this is Christmas (War is over)
And what have we done (If you want it)
Another year over (War is over)
And a new one just begun (Now)
And so Happy Christmas (War is over)
We hope you have fun (If you want it)
The near and the dear one (War is over)
The old and the young (Now)
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over if you want it
War is over now
