Day 136

This photo was a quick set up with 7 or 8 quarters on a book on a desk by a window. I wanted to create a really dramatic lighting that really showed the detail and lines on a quarter. I love how prominent the line is on the forehead, nose, and lips of the front quarter is, as it really sets the head off from the rest of the quarter. I also like how there's bright white on the right of the frame and then really really dark shadows on the left. To edit, I first made the photo black and white, then added slight Orton and Lomo effects to help give the shadows a deeper, darker, and smoother look.

Day 18

This is a pile of bricks that was at the bridge construction site I photographed the other day. I added the Lomo effect.  I've also edited the size of my blog, so now the photos will be larger and easier to see.

Day 17

Yesterday I set out with the goal of getting a good animal photo for today's post. I got this photo of my cat after trying unsuccessfully to get a good one of my dog.  I added the Lomo effect to this photo.

Day 9

I went to a little park here in town yesterday.  I've really been loving the Lomo effect recently, and like how it kind of makes the colors pop out a little more than they would have.
