Portraits by candlelight

Who said you have to have 8000 watt strobes and 11 foot ceilings and hundreds of thousands of dollars of photography equipment to take pictures? 🙂

At 6-ish pm tonight, the power in my house went out. We started with sunlight and as the night began to close in on us, pulled out the candles. As I sat there with no laptop — because the battery was already near dead — I realized I had another tool of choice nearby.

My camera and I had a bit of fun and my kids actually participated, because how cool is it to be lit by nothing but a dozen candles?

I say pretty awesome.

If you want tech specs on these … just ask. 🙂
