As I was laying around being lazy, I glanced down at the end table. There another of my dragonfly candle holders was glowing in the afternoon light. I really tried to capture that glow.
I have more photos I've tried to edit to post, but I'm not liking them right now. More photos coming up this week!
Johnson City, TX series #6. This lantern lamp post is the prettiest thing I saw there. It has a lovely yellow color with all the scroll details in the metal post. I wish I could have it at my house :)
Yesterday I was all proud of myself because the photo didn't take very long and didn't require much editing. Today was a totally different story.
This was actually the 3rd thing I tried to photograph, and it took forever. First I tried to capture something moving (horrible), and then I decided to play with candle light.
Editing was still easy though, and I'm happy with the result. Phew!
When I got home from work today, I let Denali (our dog) outside as usual. I just happened to be there at the right time. The warm afternoon sunlight was hitting the clay sun that hangs on our fence. The glow was perfect, and I ran inside to grab my camera.
Success! This morning I was whining about my preference for shooting close-ups and macros (except landscapes), and my difficulty photographing an entire object.
Here I actually started with close-ups of the pattern because it's so intricate. But I kept moving back, then I saw the shadow on the side, then I got out the black background and... I love it.
This is the second photo for 1-17. Cate gave me these for Christmas this year. She's the penguin, and I'm the turtle (but the rest of the time we're ninjas).
My friend Cate gave these to me at some point, knowing how I love colorful, shiny things.
