Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing, there is a field. I'll meet you there.

All strong emotions fan the flames of creation
~Bill Jay~

Shooting a single flame,i thought it would be simple,

but without a tripod,needed a super steady hand to hold the camera and patience!

So after experimenting a while with candle flames on my Canon Powershot A550,
tried clicking the matchstick flame: manual mode, spot metering, macro shot.
reduced the exposure a little.

EXIF: 1/50 sec ISO-80 f/2.6

the ever graceful 'Manipuri' folk dance..!

If boyhood and youth are but vanity, must it not be our ambition to become men?
~Vincent Van Gogh

transcend the traffic, leave behind work,
far away from civilization, in nature's arm...

serene moments as the sun sets in!
loved this click the most of my recent outdoor clicks...

a typical sunday evening sensation:
solitude, bright sun, blue sky, warm breeze...
looking through 'the window'
Far out of sight forever stands the sea,bounding the land with pale tranquillity...

The Bay of Bengal.
