Candle Experiments


The whole process took around 10 hours, most of this time waiting for the wax to melt. For the swipe beginning at 15 seconds I took one photo every 5 minutes and lit a new row every half an hour.
Next I took a series of photos while gradually moving a desk light into position.
Finally, for the wax solidifying, I took a photo every minute and put out a row every 5 minutes.
If I were to repeat this experiment I would decrease the amount of time between lighting rows for the melting phase and have an another light source. Also a larger collection of candles would allow more detailed less jerky patterns. I am happy with the timing of the final phase (solidifying wax)
