Today’s Theme is Black and White:
Here is WebGuy’s photo:
I call this still life with water bottle. I also call this what I consume through my day. I caught this grouping on my desk at work. It thought it worked for me. I added a little lighting from one of my swing-arm incandescent lights and took the shot with my iPhone. The iPhone can manipulate the highlights and shadows quickly and simply without any manual adjusting by the operator. I then softened the image just a smidge. I LOVE the patterns in the apples — almost too pretty to eat!
Annie’s note: I love the lighting and the shadows that Guy got in the above shot. I especially like the shadows underneath the apples. This is a totally descriptive photo!
Annie’s Photo:
You know, feet are not particularly beautiful. Actually, I think people’s feet are pretty odd looking, except for my own, and even then… I suppose that’s why I enjoy pedicures and having pretty toenails when I’m done. Comedienne Carrie Snow said: “If your toes are painted then you’re all dressed up when you’re naked”. I really love the depth and definition that black and white photography gives that color photography cannot duplicate. I especially love the vibrant turquoise and red fabrics of my quilt being subdued.
