52 Week 3: Flame

Week 3 already, and I've been having a go at shooting a candle flame:

Getting the exposure right was hard work, and I'm not sure I've quite nailed it. The candle was the only light in the room, and I shot at 1/80th of a second at f/8. I took focus from the wick before lighting the candle, and then switched to manual.

I'd like to try this again with a stem candle so that the flame can be isolated from the background - this one was the best I had to work with!

Comments on this and the other photos are greatly appreciated.
