Candle Flame

flame

I like taking pictures of fire and smoke. Maybe because fire is analogous to life. The way it moves and feeds. Perhaps I just like the patterns fire makes. Maybe because answering the question, “What is a flame?“, is so hard.

 

(How’s my punctuation on that last sentence? No time to look it up – leave a note in the comments, please.)

  1. It’s a simple picture of a candle in flame but yet it looks astonishing! I have a Nikon D7000 DSLR and I love photography. Sometimes It’s just surprising for me to see a simple thing through my lens and find it to be extraordinary.

    I love this close-up photo especially how the blue flame surrounds the yellow flame…

  3. I consider candle flame as “living light”.As it suggests that life and light seem to have something in common.To manifest light, air is required, just as a newborn human being is said to be alive after having taken his first breath of air.In the image of the candle flame, the analogy with man consisting also of 3 parts – body, soul, and spirit – comes to my mind.

  4. I love the appearance of this photo..The photographer was great to capture this.

  7. Flame is something can’t take advantage of. It’s a beautiful source of light that if you played with it you could end up hurting yourself.

  8. Wonderful close up shot because we can see in detail the structure of the flame, simply it is looking beautiful with different colours. I will try to take some shots like this, thanks for sharing.

  9. punctuation looks good to me, but the picture is worth a thousand words (question marks, quotation marks, and etc :)

  10. I’ve seen hundreds of shots almost exactly like this one but that doesn’t mean it’s not a great shot! You’ve captured it really well.

  11. I wish to be able to have a shot just like yours. THe close up photo really showed the magic of a flame and how it can capture you with its light.

  12. The Candle Flame symbolizes our life.As the time goes on and the wick goes further and further down in to the candle,its similar to our lives when we get older.When the candle flame goes off it means our life ends or we die at last .The smoke that comes out off the wick is like our spirit reaching the eternity(heaven).

  13. It’s an amazing photography.I wish I could take a pic like this.Our life is like a candle-wick aflame, whose glowing brightness drives darkness away.How long each candle lasts? No one can tell us. Similarly no one can predict how long we live in this universe.Some brides and grooms choose to honor the community through the unity candle.

  19. A very simple and attractive pic. Simply beautiful..

  20. It just so beautiful to see candle flame so closely and it looks like pleasant fire. The upward pattern of candle flame is nice still for photograph. I love photography and I always carry my Digicam with me because you never know where you can get good pictures. The punctuation is good to highlight the describing words.

  21. Wow! Look at this! Lee, I shall say to you that your images always seems to me as portrait! Exciting!!

  22. They say a great photographer can go into his backyard and find a masterpiece. Finding beauty in simplistic objects is actually not a very easy thing to do. I think it was Steve Jobs that said, getting simple right is actually very hard.

  23. Sometimes beauty lies under simplicity. this is one of them.

  24. Comme quoi il suffit d’observer , il est parfois inutile de mettre de gros moyen en oeuvre pour faire une belle image, j’adore cette photographie pour sa simplicité. Bonjour de France

  25. Even at first glance, this photograph is a perfect summary of human life: it starts off magnificently, bright and beauty. However, no matter how unbelieveably breath-taking the lights can be, or how bright they may shine, there is no avoiding the thick, black darkness that looms ahead.

  26. La mèche qui se consume nous fait penser au temps qui passe, puis la fin de la mèche et de la lumière , la fin de la vie, mais la photographie a arrêter le temps qui passe et immortalisé la vie.

  27. When the candle flame goes off it means our life ends or we die at last .The smoke that comes out off the wick is like our spirit reaching the eternity.

  28. I love that each photo can mean something different to every person who looks at it. In this burning candle I see a ticking clock that reminds us that no matter how beautiful life is, it’s always gradually flicking away before us. Wonderful. Twittering it now!
