This weeks shot was done as part of a contest at Gizmodo (link here). They do biweekly shooting challenges, and this week's was to do a shot with only a single candle for illumination. They've had some amazing shots up in the past, and it's always great to see what kinds of things people come up with.
Technical information: This was shot using a Canon XSi with the Canon 50 mm f/1.8 II lens at ISO 1600, f/14, 6.0 s exposure. I didn't use a tripod, since I don't own one, so I propped the camera on a book while I set up the picture (full manual focus, f-stop and exposure length), set a 2 second delay, hit the shutter and then let it do its thing. Special thanks to my sister for letting me borrow her jewelry for the shot. No post processing for this one beyond the conversion from CR2 to JPEG.
