This is the final version of this image, I prefer this crop compared to my original framing. I'm really happy with this photo, it's going in our dining room once it's printed!
Enjoy!

Contours
White is an incredibly difficult color to work with, capture, and achieve. In one of my art classes we had to paint a white pot and its shadow without using pure white or black (white or black could be added to tint or shade, respectively) and it was incredibly challenging. In creating this photo I found that the lighting and white balance were causing me more problems than I had anticipated, especially since I wanted to avoid cool or warm temperatures creeping into my image. My main goal was to focus on simplicity in order to study lines, contours and lighting. I really enjoy monochromatic, well, everything, really, so I feel like there's a lot of myself in this photo.
Enjoy!

I recently posted the original/un-edited version of this photo but decided something wasn't quite right. I decided to crop in a bit and I like how the lines in this image work better than the original---the focal point is much more apparent, as is the emphasis on the lines, lighting, and liquid feel of the syrup. It's a subtle change, but I feel like this image looks finished now.

Still Life 002
Practicing with indoor lighting, manual exposure and composition. I think I'll try this again with an apple that's a bit more red, it'll make the image pop a bit more.

2:00 in the Afternoon
This was one brilliant storm, you'd never know it was 2:00p in the middle of July. I'm looking forward to some stormy fall days, I know they're coming!

J. made me breakfast! How sweet of him, not only was it fantastic but it helped me with my exposure practice!
Coffee & Cream
Practicing with light, exposures and still life. Stepping a bit out of my comfort zone, but having a lot of fun (and making a lot of messes!)
