Day 160

I went back to the candle holder and light today. This time I used the late afternoon sun shining through the candle holder onto a piece of paper and shot from the back. There were a number with interesting patterns but this one stood out for me.

I played with shining different lights through a glass candlestick base that we have. There were a number that I really liked but I didn't have as much time as I wanted to go through them. I have been shooting and processing RAW images for the last couple of weeks so it takes more time to work with the images. I'm still learning. The dark red in this image output for the web did not come out as bright as it was in the original. As I said once before I need to figure out the right adjustments to get it to reflect the way it looks on my monitor.

I played around with a couple of different objects and shadows today.

Day 156

This caught my eye today. The colour changed a little in exporting this image but it is pretty close to the way it looks. This is looking down on the edge of a Pyrex measuring cup. One we have has a blue cast and this one is more of a green when you look at the edge.

This birch stump is in our front yard. The tree died a few years ago and we had it removed; all except the stump. I've always liked the way it looks, but it is rotting and we will probably remove it next summer.

Day 154

I'm not sure what type of plant this is but it is the latest blooming one in our yard. It usually starts to bloom and get some colour right around when we get snow. Even though it has had snow on it for a while it has not totally dried up. The snow is on the foreground clump of flowers and the yellow behind are some of the leaves of other stalks.
