Oh yes, I see. I think it is called rafale mode (not sure about the name in English though)
Fast shutter speed and as small an aperture as possible making sure the light is okay. Hop small note.
I re-looked at the picture to notice the not so sharp aspect of the slice, and actually I think the important part of the picture is this sparkling thing, so …
Anyway, great job ! An thanks for the response

Thank you, Lou. It’s all about timing to get a shot like this- I had an assistant light the sparklers so that I could keep my finger on the trigger, and then shot as many frames as possible until the sparks stopped flying, using a fast shutter speed to freeze the action. The trick is getting both the cake and sparklers in focus, though! The cake didn’t turn out quite as sharp as I would have liked, but that would just take a smaller aperture. Unfortunately, that would have made it too dark in this case, so I did what I could.

I saw it on my dash on tumblr and thought … how great all these colors look, I wonder who made it. Well I think I should not have wondered it was almost obvious that such a perfectly handled colored frozen dessert would come from you !
Congrats for the picture with the magic candle, was it hard to take ? Did you use a specific mode on your camera to take it ?
