Description
One of the first shots taken with my brand new Canon PowerShot S2 IS. Still getting the hang of it, this shot was taken at 6:40 PM in my bedroom with ISO 50, +2/3 Exp, -1.3 flash. Obviously black and white, I liked it that way.
Comments, what the hell am I doing, etc, are welcome :)

excellent! i love the flame & the reflections at the floor. great atmo!
Good use of DOF to push focus onto the flame. That's one low ISO (I'm guessing it was automatic?), but seems to work fine. The large dark "thing" to the right may be a bit too far into the frame, but works well with DOF. The reflection works well too. You might try taking one without the flash and longer exposure to see what you get. Overall, I like it. Nice start.
What....no colour!! you've been duped!!.LOL Wonderful sharpness, love the glasses in just a subtile blur. nice shot Drac ;)
Outstanding DOF shot, I agree with Phil on trying a "no flash". (interested in the results)
Very nice! Congratulations with the camera!! I like the dust on top of the candle, reminds me of my own home ;)
real good for the first one and on a new camera. Happy you got one.
Good shot.
Nice DOF, not sure about the comps and POV ad framing. Enjoy using the cam!
Beautiful capture, love the effect but I would have cropped out the dark blurred part! Wonderful tones!
