Challenge

2007.12.07




----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A short hiatus from night shots, although I'm sure there will be more to come. I've been twitching not being able to go outside at night and shoot! I have a very specific location that I've been dying to get to ... hopefully this weekend!

I was challenged by a colleague to try to take photos of normal objects and make them beautiful. This is another 'growth opportunity' for me, as I find this VERY difficult!.

As an attempt, just some shots of things we have in our home that I found somewhat intriguing. For anyone interested, I have no idea what kind of eggs these are in the nest! I wasn't sure they were even real, but they appeared to have been hollowed out at one point

sunshineand i like how #2 turned out. interesting idea to look at things around us, that we see every day, and focus in on them for a photo.

soldotnamanda That is the "beauty" of photoblogging. Seeing the unusual, beautiful, or spectacular in the most ordinary. Very nice set! I liked each one for different reasons.

chrisfly Great photoset! That pic of the eggs are awesome...

FirstBlush I love these. Finding beauty in the mundane is one of my favorite things to try and accomplish. :) You did very well here. RYC: What did you end up getting? Believe me, I deleted a TON before I got the couple that I actually liked. lol The sightest of movement creates a huge trail, so if you're aiming to make something with your light, barely move the camera. I can't wait to see more night shots!

RozariaS nice ones... good hiatus :)
