At one time candles were used to illuminate homes in America. Now they are largely used for decorative purposes. This candle was given to me in the packaging above. I thought the lace covering added interested to the image. Below, the candle glows from within, allowing me to capture a romantic feel. I used my new lens on these images. So far I'm utilizing it as a portrait lens, choosing not to use the macro capabilities...I don't know why.

the first image is especially beautiful.
as far as "love" goes..it is almost spring:)
Nice images. The candle does look nice in the packaging. Don't worry, you'll get around to using the lens as a macro. Now that you have it, you can do it "whenever the mood strikes" which is the best part of having the "right"equipment.
Yeah, I agree with Linda! Those macro opportunities will pop up soon enough. But right now, enjoy just flexing your creativity a bit, which you have clearly done in these photos! I love the first one the best, it's almost ethereal in nature. Maybe love keeps popping up as a theme because love is on the way!
Very pretty images, Steve! I like Jayme's explanation as to why all the "love" themes lately. But it IS February...the "love" month! :-)
hey nice post and your right yuck
