Oh, SR, this is perfect. Our family celebrates the Winter Solstice each December (just another excuse for a celebration, and it is science related so DH is all for it). W.S. is coming next week. We turn off all the lights in the house and only can use electricity to power the Christmas lights, the stereo, and the heat (we even order out Chinese for dinner so we don't have to turn on the stove. One year we BBQ'd in the snow). It's the shortest day of the year here in the northern U.S. so we celebrate the return of the sun by being in darkness, and being together without the TV and other distractions. We play games, drink hot cocoa (or hot buttered rums, for us parents) and visit all evening. And our only sorce of light.....candles. So, now, after my long story, I've got a goal. I'll be back. Thanks for the link SR, I'll check it out for some tips.

Oh-Amy- what a fun family tradition. Don't know that my camera is geeared for this. Always get blurred results. Thanks for the helpful tut.

Edit: Just took a quick peak at the tut and gained a better undestanding of ISO settings and why some of my photos are grainy. Thanks.

Oooo! How fun! I don't know if we can do this tonight - basketball games, which is like shooting by candlelight - but I see a candlelight dinner coming! Thanks for the challenge!

Oh, Amy, I love that! I used to celebrate the solstice instead of christmas, but once our daughter was born, somehow family influence won out. But I may just have to reclaim it this year! (Doesn't hurt that it's a Friday ;-))

Well we have 3 Carols By candlelight to attend this weekend lol
My daughter has one for school, my little ones for daycare and then the community one on Sunday that my oldest is performing at!
So my challenge pick was totally selfish lol!
I also have 3 birthadys coming up - my husband son the 23rd, my youngest son on the 30th and then my youngest daughters on the 8th of Jan
So there will be a few candlelight pictures in my future!
