Ian then asked, "will he have a cake?" It's the same question he asks upon receiving any birthday party invitation. As we made the cake together, I knew exactly what my photo of the day would be.
50mm | ISO 640 | f/1.4 | ss1/320
Sprinkles delicately placed by a four year old hand. I think they are a bit symbolic.

I shot this will ALL lights off in my house. For candle photos I expose for the light around the flame, not the flame itself. Enough to illuminate the cake, but not blow out the detail of the flame.
In Lightroom I fiddled with Temperature, Exposure and Clarity a tiny bit, cropped it, upped my black a smidge to get rid of a reflection of the plate.
In Photoshop, I reduced noise a tiny bit and saved to jpeg.

So cool! Thanks for the explanation. Where did you put the focus on...I'm guess the candle. Am I right?
You have some mad skills, Katrina!
Thanks Kimberly!
Doris, you are right. Exposed just to the side of it. focused on the the candle, right below the flame. Shot. Then checked my histogram.
I love Ians way of thinking,
Mom
