Season Hunt challenge for lights & candles (13 foto)

I continue participating in #SeasonHunt challenge by @barbara-orenya. (You may check for more details this week post -- the prompt was 'light & candles'.


You see, I love light, and partly I may claim that a lot of my photographs are about light ... well, except maybe mushrooms and the street-life - and even then I photograph the light pretty often too :) Winter is the best time to shoot beautiful lights. Because what else to shoot when it's dark and cold around? Therefore ... I lit candles and I arranged a special photo session for this post, but along the way I'll probably get inspired and add some more photos, I've already added one - on the cover of the post - it's all about the world, isn't it?

Видите ли, я люблю свет, отчасти все мои фотографии - про свет... ну, исключая грибы и жизнь улиц :) Зима - самое подходящее время чтобы поснимать красивых огоньков. Потому как что еще снимать, когда вокруг темно и холод? Поэтому... я зажег свечки и устроил специальную фотосессию, но по ходу дела вероятно вдохновлюсь и добавлю еще что-нибудь для разнообразия... уже добавил, на обложку поста - она вся про свет, не так ли?

Romantically embellished winter evening. It is good to admire the fluffy fresh white snow or the snowflakes dancing in the lantern light - when you are wrapped in a warm fur coat and have not lost your fingers, ears, or legs from icing ... when you can return home in 5 minutes. And the real reality is, in fact, less pleasant. And Santa Claus was not so kind originally, it was only in the twentieth century invented that he carries gifts in his bag. But originally, the idea was that he carries the corpses of frozen children there. But I didn’t tell you that :) and also maybe nobody cared to read this longread.

Романтически приукрашенная зима. Хорошо любоваться свежевыпавшим снежком или танцем снежинок в свете фонаря - когда ты укутан в теплую шубу, и не потерял от обледенения ни пальцев, ни ушей, ни ног... когда можешь вернуться домой через 5 минут. А реальная реальность - она, на самом деле, менее приятна. И дедушка Мороз - не такой уж и добрый, это только в ХХ веке придумали, что он носит в своем мешке подарки. А на самом деле, он носит в нем трупики замерзших детишек. Только если что, я вам этого не говорил :)

Lights, lights + camera + good lens = bokeh... = belissima!

Огоньки, огоньки + камера + хороший объектив = бокэ... = belissima!

But I promised candles. Sorry, got distracted by the winter photo folder :P

Но я обещал свечки. Простите, отвлёкся.

Since childhood, I love candles and wax - there was a candle factory next to my parents' house, and my yard friend and I sometimes penetrated (without permission, of course) into its territory and examined garbage heaps and garbage cans, privatizing discarded candle wicks and pieces of unnecessary wax. What smells were there! .. Unfortunately, we did not dare to go inside and see the entire production process, it was "no questions asked." It remains one of the most pleasant memories of my childhood. As for the stolen wax - we used it to make our own hand-made candles.

Я с детства люблю свечи и воск - по соседству с домом моих родителей находился свечной заводик, и я с моим дворовым другом иногда проникал (без разрешения, разумеется) на его территорию и исследовал мусорные кучи и помойные баки, приватизируя выброшенные свечные фитили и куски ненужного воска. Какие там были запахи!.. К сожалению, зайти внутрь и поглазеть на весь процесс производства мы не осмеливались, нас бы выгнали взашей, если не что похуже. Приятные воспоминания моего детства... А из стыренного воска мы делали свои собственные свечки.


Well, today life is easier - it's much cheaper to buy candles in IKEA. We still keep a large package bought at a wholesale price - an unspent stock. After all, candles are for luxury and making a special atmosphere, and for emergency cases... for everyday lighting we use electricity. So, when the New Year comes, we have something to light.

Ну сегодня жить проще - гораздо дешевле покупать свечки в ИКЕЕ. У нас до сих пор лежит большой пакет купленный по оптовой цене - нерастраченный запас. Все-таки свечки для роскоши и специальной атмосферы, ну и еще на крайний случай... а для освещения мы используем электричество. Когда приходит новый год, нам есть что зажечь.

How many candles do you think are in this photo? One? Wrong! Two! The question, of course, had a trick. The figurine of Santa Claus is also a candle :P

Как вы думаете, сколько свечек на этой фотографии? Одна? Неправильно! Две! Вопрос, конечно же, был с подвохом. Фигурка Деда Мороза - тоже свечка.

That's what is in his head - not gifts, but fire! Our Santa Claus is a fire worshiper.

Вот что у него в голове - не подарки, нет: огонь! Наш Дед Мороз - огнепоклонник.

I took a sufficient amount of doubles and later takes - can share some photos for the #stockimages, for using for free - if there is a lack of such a stuff there. Huh?..

Orange glass candlestick - orange candle light - orange physalis fruits. And persimmons.

Оранжевый стеклянный подсвечник - оранжевый свет свечи - оранжевые плоды физалиса. И хурма.

Hope you like my slender bodegons.

I love the birds in your first photo @qwerrie and the lights throughout your post are really pretty! I love all of the tea light photos as well! We have IKEA ones here also as a big bag was cheap and they last quite a while. Hope you have a wonderful rest of the week and good luck in the draw! 💖

aha! IKEA is everywhere :))) and sometimes it can be a good remedy / substitute, totally agree. a lot of cheap candles -- what can be more pleasurable? 😁

those birds are really beautiful, we obtained them as a gift for my babygirl's Godmother. I would love... I plan to make a separate post with more of these birdies photos, in f-f community. but the problem is, the captures look almost all the same, hehe -- not a good thing for a decent post...

I am sorry -- I had no time to comment back, how much I enjoyed your last blog dedicated to the gifts and candies. So much Christmas mood and beauty -- and well-presented -- I simply become hooked :P

I love your photos, @qwerrie, when I saw your candles I thought "why haven't I thought of these small IKEA candles?" which we also have in masses at home. Maybe I thought they wouldn't look that good, but they do, as I could see in your photos, my friend 😊

But much more I love the decoration lights you have there on the streets - they look beautiful 😍 I haven't seen similar here.

... when you are wrapped in a warm fur coat and have not lost your fingers, ears, or legs from icing ... you forgot the nose - that thing is also so exposed, so you could lose it too 🤣 !LOLZ


!BEER and !WINE - both make a nice dinner with !PIZZA :)
