Hi everyone, need some help. In prep for Christmas I need a photo (which I can use if OK by you) that would show a white candle (big one) surrounded by greenery, pine cones and with fireplace in background. Can't seem to find one and I don't have the equipment to do the shot myself. I see the fireplace as out of focus so that the candle would be sharp. Can anyone help?
Thanks so much everyone.
Bob

Have you tried a wide angle lens on a tripod with a very small aperture Bob?

Read his post.
He is not looking for tips on how to take the shot, he is looking for an existing photo like this already taken by somebody. He even stated he doesn't have the equipment to take it himself.

Gator, we don't have an exact image of what is in his mind's eye. I was just trying to be helpful, maybe this could be done by stacking a point and shoot on a chair and stacked books or something and the camera set to its widest angle. It's harder but it's more rewarding to come up with an image you've actually created yourself, don't you think?

Yes, and in fact I've just done that and I'm very happy with the results.
Exactly as you suggested.
Then in post I tweaked it a little to bring out certain colors.
Worked perfectly.
Thank you so much for help.
Regards and thanks again,

Thanks for all your help guys (and gals).

Hi Cockney and Greg,
Yea, you were right. I was looking for something already made by someone else. But alas, I didn't find one so I had to set up the shot and do it myself. Somewhere in here you will see the two that I ended up with.
Thanks for everything. You guys are great.

Good on you Rolsen, I agree that I prefer the second one with the poinsettias. More power to your elbow as we say over here.

Hey Cockney Greg,
In your photo tag under your name you show a fish which I assume you caught. What is it?

A cod, probably the most popular sea fish for eating over here.
