Happy Easter, Maynooth, 2008reflection

I made this shot pretty much exactly a year ago, com­ing back from church where they had the place dec­or­ated with these lovely col­our­ful egg-​candles. At the end of the day, there were a few left for the tak­ing, so I took these two in order to re-​create the flickr logo with those egg shaped candles ;-)

The set-​up was very simple — I just placed the candles on a few A3 sheets of white paper and put an external flash on a tri­pod, together with an impro­vised snoot made from the car­ton of a roll of tin-​foil. As the flash was just out­side the field of view of the lens I got this nice smooth lens flare. The dream­i­ness was achieved by over­lay­ing a semi-​transparent, blurred ver­sion of the pic­ture.

In any case, Happy Easter to you all, enjoy the days off, go for a walk, take some pho­tos or just chill out.
