February photo challenge: 16th Feb, Something New

I received a few gifts on the weekend.  One of them was this candle holder from one of my sons.  The candle is also new.  I took several shots of it burning:  lights on, lights off, flash on, flash off, a compact digital camera, a larger DSLR.  This photo is with the latter, lights on, flash off.  I couldn’t hold the small camera steady enough and ended up with blurry candles.  The DSLR shutter was quicker so the image isn’t bad.

The candle was about twice this height when I began shooting it…
