Candles: the final level of brightness

An evening ending with candlelight. Three or four plain candles of varying heights are lit on the coffee table and low cabinet, some already half-burned with wax naturally dripping down; only one corner electric light is on, dimmed to its lowest setting. The flames warmly illuminate surrounding cups and faces, with only outlines visible further away. The image shows soft, flickering shadows cast by the candlelight. Avoid: using electronic fake candles, arranging candles in a neat row, having bright electric lights on simultaneously with candlelight, using commercial glass jars for scented candles.

一個以燭光收尾的夜晚。矮几與矮櫃上點著三四支素色的蠟燭,高低不同,有些已經燒掉一半、蠟油自然地流下;電燈只剩角落一盞開到最暗。火焰讓周圍的杯子與臉被溫暖地照亮,更遠處只剩輪廓。畫面裡看得到燭火造成的柔和晃動陰影。避免:使用電子假蠟燭、把蠟燭排成整齊的一列、在有燭光時同時開著明亮的電燈、使用香氛蠟燭的商業玻璃杯裝。
