9 Jan 25 Reply I am trying to do more in-door at home photography because I can control it, well, hopefully soon I can control it :) Jan 15th
9 Jan 25 Reply Thanks you.

I have two lights with umbrellas and then I also used a third light to play with shadow. I tried moving the lights many different ways so I am not sure on the exact setup for this photo.

9 Jan 25 Reply Honestly, you have been an inspiration.

I am still trying to find my niche :)
And it is good to have a goal in the different challenges.
I am hoping to be able to focus on in-door (or studio photography? not sure what to call what I do) for the next few months to get a better understanding of lighting. The issue is I share a workspace with my husband who refinishes furniture and I am very lazy about having to set up and tear down the lighting etc.

9 Jan 25 Comment This is cool perspective, nice snap.

I am not well versed in architecture photography so take my comments with a grain of salt. When I first looked at your photo, I loved the leading line of the wall coming into the shot. But then it kind of bothered me that the top of the building was cut off. I also was intrigued (or distracted?) by what I think are table umbrellas on the other side of the wall.

I do like Sabine's black and white conversion which makes it look more like art. I can't see the umbrellas and the missing building top does not bother me as much.

9 Jan 25 Comment This is a gorgeous snap! Very sharp, great bokeh. I love that you also have one bee in flight. I was looking at your settings, I almost never go to to ISO 1000, but I think I will have to try that to get a faster speed. great job! Jan 13th
9 Jan 25 Comment First of all, I thought that you lived in Chicago so it surprises me that you get a great view like this on your way home from Costco!
This is a great photo!

I too love the horizontal lines and wondered if a bit a of crop would emphasize them more. I thought the horizon line looked a bit off to me so I straightened it a bit and added a vignette. Just a different take.

9 Jan 25 Comment This is a very interesting photo - I do love the your color choice on the final photo. I applaud you for trying and mastering a new technique. Jan 13th
9 Jan 25 Reply Thank you!
I am just really starting with lighting and clearly have a lot to learn :)

9 Jan 25 Reply The bottom of the glass is yellow, then graduates to clear at the top. I did try several different set ups with the lighting, this one was the best. I used, at times, up to three different studio lights. I also tried that with a small light behind the pillow case. I will keep trying and experimenting. Jan 13th

20 Jan 25 Reply I did not - but driftwood on the beach makes more sense.

Except it has been cold here so I probably would not have, but it is a better idea!

20 Jan 25 Comment Great job blending the two photos! It looks like it was a photo of a painting that these two sat for - great blending. Jan 7th
20 Jan 25 Comment This is great! I tried to shoot through a glass container once - it did not go well - too much glare.

I love that you put four together. Very cool result!

20 Jan 25 Comment I do see nature looking back at me - I would say you were successful in your goal. It does make me think.

20 Jan 25 Comment Very interesting. I agree that the sculpture could be a UFO. Great job integrating it with the outdoor background. Jan 7th
