Christmas Flame

What I like about this image is the mosaic effect given to the flame from the cracked glass. I also like the red glow from the candle and the stained glass. it really portrays a Christmas-like emotion.

For this image I used the close up setting with flash.

Light and Detail

My favourite kind of image is where the light is behind the object of interest in a picture. This is a perfect example.

Further study in to detail.

Water Droplet Decoration


These are my favourite images. These really show how sharp and focused on detail the camera is capable of. 

Gold Snowflake Decoration


I  put these two images together for comparison. I studied the differences of depth of field in each image. I'll be using this technique with a lot of my future images.

New Camera Tests

I had a new DSLR camera for Christmas, a Canon EOS 550D, so my next few images are simply tests to see how I can work with it.
 This was the first image I had taken, on an outdoor setting and with no flash. I have to admit, I was extremely impressed with the amount of detail captured.
