I hope you’ve been enjoying yourself over the past week of
fireworks and bonfires!! I love this time of year, as there is so much to take
photos of- both inside and outside of events.
I took this photo at one of my town’s local events, which I
attended to support my grandmother as she had the honour of lighting this
year’s bonfire!! After she had lit it, it was left to burn down completely
(which was rather nice, as it was freezing!). It was a really interesting
subject for a photograph, as the combination of smoke, flames and ashes made
for a unique effect at every press of the shutter. I like this photo in
particular.
I experimented with exposure times to get different effects;
in this picture I used a shutter speed of 1/4000 with an aperture of F8. I used
such an incredibly fast shutter speed because I didn’t want the patterns made
by the smoke to blur, and there was a lot of light coming from the fire.
I haven’t edited this image as I was pleased with the
original. I love how you can see the ash around the outlines of the fire along
with the silhouette of the wood. I hope you’ll join me in saying
congratulations to my grandmother – she did well!!!
