I got really lucky….
This photo is from a long while back. I was going through trying to test a ton of wicks with a couple jar sizes toward the beginning of my candle making journey. (Obviously I’ve leaned alot since then).
I also had gotten my first REAL camera to take photos with (a canon 90d). And I blew out one candle near the others and was able to catch this! If you look closely it looks like a mermaid or something similar! I’ve yet to get so lucky again while taking photos in any environment! So, needless to say this is by far my favorite photo I have EVER taken.
I used a 50mm 1.8 to catch this if anyone was curious! And everything was in manual mode.

Candle making is an art that combines creativity and precision. As someone who has journeyed through the intricacies of this craft, I can attest to the importance of experimenting with different wick types and jar sizes to achieve the best results. The right wick not only affects the candle's burn time, but also influences the fragrance throw, creating a delightful experience for the user. When starting out, investing in a good camera, like the Canon 90D, can enhance your ability to capture beautiful moments and finished products. The combination of the 50mm 1.8 lens and manual settings allows photographers to experiment with depth of field and lighting, ultimately leading to stunning photos that can showcase your creations. Exploring hashtags like #candlemaking and #photography on social platforms can connect you with a vibrant community of artists and enthusiasts, allowing for valuable tips and shared experiences. Engaging with content related to candle making can provide inspiration and new techniques, motivating you to keep refining your craft. Whether it's capturing the perfect photo or creating a beautiful candle, the journey is both rewarding and full of surprises.
