Before
After
We had a fire over the weekend so I thought it would be a great time to play around with light and shadow and taking what are, for me, really difficult shots. Although I think the before shot is interesting, it feels unfocused. There's really no place for your eye to rest, and it was so closely cropped in it felt more like a chaotic, dangerous fire rather than the happy campfire shot I was looking for. I zoomed out for the second shot, focused on just one section of the fire that looked more contained, and slowed down the shutter spped just a little. I think the after picture really gives the summer campfire, toasting marshmallows mood I was looking for.
Before: ISO 200, f/4.5, 1/100s, AWB; After: ISO 200, f/4, 1/60s, AWB. Both taken with my Canon Rebel XTi.
