Reflected Light

The sermon was on John 5:30 - 6:1 this morning. "John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you chose for a time to enjoy his light. I have testimony weightier than that of John.... How can you believe if you accept praise from one another, yet make no effort to obtain the praise that comes from the only God?" Lots of food for thought.

How pretty! The flames look like they're swimming in the pool of melted wax. I like the reflection, too.

That's a convicting text indeed. Lovely photo, Becky. How did you take this one?

Becky, I love this picture and I love the verse as well. Great combination.

This photo365 project has given me a different appreciation of the beauty of reflected light. It's very special, haven't considered that in depth before. Amazing what this project is teaching in so many dimensions.

This is a truly lovely shot, Becky! Light is something this project has made me slow down and consider. I took a candle shot yesterday, but it isn't posted anywhere yet. I sat down to eat, and looked at that gorgeous candle, and thought I needed to try and capture it before it is gone (it has personality because it's nearing the end of it's life). The light makes ME reflective.

Colleen, I did it with no flash, holding it very still (I have no tripod) and in a dark room in front of a mirror. I didn't crop this one.

Thanks for the nice comments. I'm finding myself fascinated with the whole idea of reflections these days, too... light and other stuff.

I like the reflection, the light and the deep colors. It works on many different levels. The quote works well with it too.

Becky, Becky! I love this photo. It is so delightful! You're doing it.

You've got a gorgeous reflection in that shot.

Beautiful, warm photography. I wasn't sure at first if it was 2 candles or one with a reflection. Good thought for the day, too.

Gorgeous! This is such a warm photo and goes nicely with the scripture. Kudos on doing the reflection!

Wow, that you did this by" holding it very still" is quite an achievement! I can rarely get still enough. This is such a nice inviting shot.
