These are all photos of the altar de muertos taken exclusively with candlelight. (with aid of a tripod). All are taken with aperture at f2.5, giving almost no depth of field, but making the images seem very large or imposing. The candlelight, surprisingly (i thought that a single light-source would cause lots of shadows), did not create harsh shadows in most images, but rather a warm, soft light with almost no contrast or shadow.
