re: Winner Announcement: "Picture a Book Title" Challenge

thanks all. . .this was a fun challenge. . .(as ive read many a books. . .lol). . .a little trip down memory lane again. . .i had read this book in jr high and like all adolescent youths i didnt appreciate it too much at the time. . . when i was about 25 years old i picked up a copy and read it again for some reason and loved it. . .as a matter of fact i picked up all the literary classics that i had read in jr high and high school and read them all again. . .lol. . .

so for this shot i wanted to portray guy montag (the main character if you havnt read it) hiding in seclusion reading. . .(reading or owning any books was illegal in the story. . .if caught, the firemen actually set the books and your house on fire with kerosene torches. . .) thus the candles as a foreshadowing. . .(fahrenheit 451 is the temperature at which paper burns). . .


i set the shot up on timer. . every time i ran to my position at the table, the draft would blow the candle flames around as the shutter opened. . .lol. . .


thanks again and great job everyone. . .
