Since it was unseasonably chilly Friday evening, the family gathered downstairs and I started a fire.  And decided to take some pictures of the fire.  I’ve decided to do a lot more shooting in full Manual mode and to move away from Program mode.  So it’s probably no surprise then that the first picture was under-exposed, but I really like how it came out!

ISO 200, F/5, 1/125th sec

I messed around with the settings on the camera and decided I wanted to try to capture the flames in a blur, so I slowed down the shutter time, but also bumped up the ISO slightly

I like how I inadvertently caught my  reflection in the bottom of the image.

ISO 400, F/4.5, 1 sec
