Bright golden black eyed Susans, shot from the side in the morning.

I really like this image, but it feels like something isn’t quite right to me…

I got excited photographing these because of the shapes and the early morning light and the lovely smeary background (thanks to my new 50mm Nikkor lens, which I ADORE). I had something in mind for how I wanted to process them, but it was a rather nebulous idea and I wasn’t able to match what I was feeling during the editing process.

Does that ever happen to you?

I had this image in my head that was bluish and very moody but nothing I did seemed to evoke that feeling so I gave up and just went with what what I felt looked best.

I still really like the image, it just didn’t turn out the way I had expected/hoped/tried.

Maybe I’ll visit it again at a later date with new eyes (or more experience) and match my vision for it.

Ring of Shadows

 

Key ring on my windowsill.  It took an idiotic amount of time to make this image.  First my angles were off and I had to re-shoot.  Then the sun disappeared (leaving me contorted in a very uncomfortable position for a long time until it came back).  When I finally got the shot I couldn’t come to a decision on how I wanted to process it!  There are a lot of directions I could have gone with, but ultimately I am pleased with the final image.

Sometimes you just need to commit to a decision to get the project finished.

Rock Shadows

 

Large piece of mica in the corner caught in the slanting light of late morning (I seem to be starting with 2-day themes here; first hydrangea flowers and now slanting light…).  Again, I thought the textures and shadows lent themselves better to black and white (and it makes my makeshift ant trap in the front less glaringly obvious).
