Decided to have a little after dinner drink tonight.

For those that have requested it here is the exif,

  • 10 sec
  • f2.8
  • ISO 200

The shot was taken on a black background with no lighting except the flame, post processing consisted of,

  • rotate
  • auto curves
  • auto contrast
  • auto levels
  • cloning to hide a bit where the background was missing :\
  • USM
  • resize
  • USM (very light)
  • save for web

Then my favorite part, blow out flame and drink :)

Nice 'shot', hope you did remember to put it out first, and not burn your lips on the glass :)

(college guys are silly when they do flaming shots sometimes)
