Day 169

I spent the first half of today at the hospital, and the second trying to get caught up on school work. I finally finished a Spanish paper I'd been working on, and then remembered that I still needed to post. On my desk I had my camera case, textbooks, a spool of pink ribbon from a 4-H project, and some other miscellaneous stuff. I used the front of my camera case for a textured background, and then with my left hand held the pink ric rac in front with my left hand while shooting with my right. Needless to say, it was hard to get one in focus. I'm not entirely sure the ribbon is in focus yet, but I thought the shiny aspect was a nice compliment to the ordered pattern of the camera case.  To edit, I applied black and white just to the spot of wall you can see i=behind the case, and then a small dark edge to finish.

Day 102

Today I was making roses out of plastic party spoons. You use a candle to soften the spoon, then shape it into a petal, then meld them together. Long story short, I decided that my rose would be the subject of today's photo. My setup consisted of a pair of jeans, a window, and a book. I stood the book up, then laid the jeans over it on a table to make the backdrop. I set this up by a window to get the natural lighting. I decided that for editing I wanted to get a really artistic look. To get that, I made the photo black and white, but left the rose the original color. I then added dark edges to give the photo the finished look.

Day 93

Yesterday my mom, sister, and I went to a local swap meet to sell some rabbits. As usual, I tend to walk around and look at other booths. These display of wallets was in one of my favorite booths, where they sell saddles, bridles, and purses. I painted on black and white and left one pink wallet in color to give a focal point and make the photo less busy.

Day 83

On the way home from my 4-H meeting last night I had to stop and take a photo of the beautiful, delicate pink tint of the sky. It didn't turn out the way I had planned, but I think it was still an interesting picture.

Day 47

I hope everyone had a good Easter! On Saturday my family went to my mom's parents' house. These tulips were in vase on my grandma's table there, and I decided to take a macro to show some of the beautiful texture. I added the frost effect from picmonkey.com to get the white edges.

Day 13

This is a macro photo of some flowers I had gotten for my birthday ages ago. The flowers are really dried up, so to add some color I used the Orton effect. Sorry I took so long to post today,  I think I had photographer's block.
