This idea came to me last night while I when I was trying to go to sleep but also wondering what I was going to do for my "blue" project today. I wanted to find a way to make it more interesting but my mind kept coming up blank. That is until I was sitting in my big comfy chair reading a book, thinking about all the other things I "should" be doing, I looked over and saw the lines on the table. I'm not sure I accomplished the look I was going for but that is what practicing and learning is all about. Right?
What I like/dislike:
-I like that the shadow of the glass leads the eye to the glass.
-I like the lines on the table but not the blinds in the background. Maybe if I had shot more of an upward angle I could have eliminated some of the bg.
-I don't like the water spots/smudge marks on the top of the glass. I saw them but was hoping you wouldn't be able to see them in the photo. Next time I will know better :)

Settings were: f4.5 ss 1/8000 iso 250Shot with my 50mm
So not the most exciting pic in the world and probably more red than blue but my focus was the blue gum ball.
What I think I could have done better:
- closed down my app. just a little so the focus was more on the blue gum ball
- I was going for the split lighting but maybe should have diffused the light on the left a little so that it looked more blue or reflected the light onto the other side of the gumball so it wasn't so dark.
-I wish I had left a little more room on the bottom of the frame so the gum ball wasn't so close to the bottom.
Settings were f4.0 ss 1/160 iso 1250 -Shot with my 100mm macro on my kitchen table window light camera left.

I would have given you the exact same cc! Other than that good blue :) I also would like to know what settings you used and what your lighting was...care to share?
PS) still no sign of the invite and I have checked everywhere. Who does the invite come from? Is it blogger?
Does it mean I'm getting better if I can look at my pictures and see everything I did wrong :) Just too bad I couldn't see it BEFORE I took the shot :) I will add settings...
you know on second glance I think it would have been fun to see the whole gumball reflection and then a little extra space (kinda along the same lines as your last cc) thanks for the settings :)
I did take one with the whole reflection showing but I didn't like the comp/bg as much...
Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. This may just be WAY beyound little ol me. What great pictures! I like the blinds in the background I think it adds consistency.
Anganette it is sooo not beyond you! I think I have already reached the limit of my creativity and I am only on day 2! Please play, I would love to see your perspective and Kelsey's too! :)
Oh I like the blinds one too! I agree about the bg but only the object on the right edge. I would have loved to see this at more angles like the shadow coming in from the side, or corner. good job sharon!
I actually took it from several different angles but this was my favorite. Maybe will post more of them if I run out of ideas:)
