CANDLES IN THE WIND
 
Warm
     
 

Lantern (Mooncake) Festival at the MPSJ field. A family having fun lighting up candles as fast as the wind snuffs it. A preliminary shot (with flash) from eye-level captured very little of the festive atmosphere (left).

Story: Get curious, get involved.
Bringing the camera this low and slow, required a mini-tripod. In this case, the camera was mounted on a Manfrotto 222 joystick head with mini-legs. By using the daylight colour temperature preset, the warm tones created by the candles are enhanced. The overhead flood lights kept the grass green and produced a very slight but nice bluish halo.

Canon G1, ISO 50, f2, 1/4 sec
