Day 189

A vase/pitcher I purchased many years ago.
I added some texture.

Day 119

I picked some flowers from a tree on my way home in case I didn't have any creative juices flowing , lucky thing I did. I wasn't in the mood for photography today but somehow had no problem playing around in photoshop. I added several textures and used a vintage action to get this look.

Day 97

Sunflowers and daisies.

Day 43

I got a bunch of these baby calla lilies yesterday to photograph. I put them in the light-box I made yesterday and played around with the lights until I got what I wanted.
Just when you think you understand lights..... it all goes wrong. I started out with a white background then decided it needed some more contrast so I changed the back sheet to black.

Day 2

With the Christmas tree up, I thought I should play around with that. I set up a vase filled with ornaments on the black granite bar in front of the tree to catch some of the lights reflecting on the granite. I used available light, but had to lighten up the vase once I brought it into CS3 using a screen layer and mask.
I shot this with the 24-105mm lens set at 100 iso f/4.0 and .6sec shutter speed.
