This is the LUG. Prolonging discussions is what we do.
I turned on the room lights and added a 100W flood to make sure there was
plenty of light for focusing. Then I focused the camera, turned off the
lights, lit the candles, waited 5 minutes (I wanted heat to build up) and
then took the first round of pictures. I then blew out the candles, turned
on the room lights, and took the second round of pictures.
