Pens:
When I discovered Wordless Wednesday, the notion that my blog, which focuses on lens and pens, would occasionally go wordless was not necessarily a conflict. For me, photography has always been about its visual language. So here I am with my first submission, and (yes), still creating words.
Note: As always I welcome comments about this post or any part of my blog.

Gracie, thanks for the Pingback. Happy Wordless Wednesday.
How much longer did you hold it? How far did you go to get the shot? Enquiring minds want to know
Actually, I was against a pillar for support, and shooting at a few different angels. I did not have my long lens, but the one I had goes to 105 mm. Did not have my tripod. Lighting was just right. Thanks.
IT IS HARD TO BE WORDLESS, ISN’T IT!! THANK YOU FOR THE VERY INTERESTING PHOTO!!!
Absolutely, I find it difficult to be wordless. I guess that I’ll continue to do the “almost.” Thanks.
Wonderful image for Wordless Wednesday, Sally.
I was thinking about joining this challenge too. Should be fun.
Thanks, yes, do join in the fun.
I am a quilter & I like to quilt flames!
That must be fun to create various designs with them. Thanks.

Thanks for the Pingback.
I love this photograph. Really clever.
Thanks, experimentation continues.
I’m glad to see your addition to Wordless Wednesday, which I also try to participate in. This is an interesting photo — and impressive.
Jo, thanks, I do believe that photographs have their own visual language, but it’s still hard not to be a narrator for them.
I’m hopeless at wordless Wednesday. I think I may need to reword it to ‘almost wordless Wednesday’. x
You saw my title, it’s tough but possible.
I want to get better at low key photography…I love a stark, black background.
Thanks, this photo shot was energizing.
Hmmm… what is Wordless Wednesday? A blog post without words (pictures, art, etc….) Sounds interesting. Where did you find info on this?
One of my followers participates. Google it and you’ll see that there is a growing number of entries. Yes, it’s posting a photograph sans text. Do join.
I love the tension in this photo… It’s still but as the viewer, I can feel the movement and heat of the flame. Probably because the rest of the image is dark and both the hand and flame are pulling my eye in. I feel tension because I feel like the hand is about to burn! It’s a beautiful and somewhat eerie photo
great post!
I have a series that I want to explore, and fire and flames are at the top of the list. There are many in the experimentation queue. Thanks.
