Birthday Cake

I'm not sure why I didn't blog this long ago... this is one of my absolute favorite images of everything I've taken.

The only light in the shot is coming from the candles... it's amazing that we have cameras that can capture this. Granted, if you had set up a shot like this, had a tripod, etc., you could pull it off. But to go from shooting a lighted room to shooting this in real time with good results is pretty amazing.

Shot with a 40D, 17-40mm f/4 L, 1/30 @ f/4, ISO 1600.
