A Stone Living Room Lit by Half a Fire
35mm cine film, 40mm f/2.8: firelight sweeps in from the right, shadows sink into teal-gray.
✍️ "Fire as the only light" sets the light ratio for the whole frame: one low warm source on the right, the far end falls into teal-gray naturally, no extra warm-cool contrast needed. The closing line about small, tame flames leaves safety review some room; bring it along for any fire subject.

Interior of a quiet country cottage, 16:9, nobody home. Shot as a genuine film still: 35mm cine stock, a 40mm lens opened to f/2.8 for shallow focus, with fine, structured grain.
The hearth is stone and a few logs blaze steadily inside it. Off to the left sits a well-worn leather armchair, a woollen blanket thrown across its arm; a wicker basket of split firewood stands beside it, and a rug is spread on the floor facing the fire.
The fire alone lights the room, low and warm from the right side of the camera. Its glow rakes across the rug, the armchair and the stones, and long soft shadows stretch left to settle into deep teal-tinted darkness at the far end. Highlights carry an amber glow. Keep the grade subdued and low in contrast: muted green, teal in the shadows, amber in the midtones.
The picture must contain no people, no injuries, no disasters or spreading flames, and no legible text, signage, numerals or logos. All flames are small, tame and contained.
