Something Different




Day 39; Project 365

Day 39's photo is something a little different. I was sitting in my office thinking about how it looked like a lot like new digs but more like college digs with my bean bag chair and florescent light when I glanced up and spied the pattern the lamp was casting on the wall. It looked cool and different at the same time.

I like the fact that the light is a little tilted in the photo. Gives it a little more appeal.

Post processing includes cropping out part of the ceiling from the shot, boosting the color and then making it Black and White.

Project 365 - Day 28

My day 28 photo isn't much. It's my nightstand table. I was feeling a bit exhausted and just not well a for a few days, and almost as soon as I got home I was ready for bed. I did hold out for a little while. But not long.

On this day, I knew I hadn't taken a photo and decided that this one photo would pretty much sum up my day nicely.

As you can see, there are two books (both pregnancy books), a glass of water, my Mylanta bottle (praise to those who invented the wonder elixir), a napkin (where a snack probably had once been lying), my alarm, the bottom half of my lamp and my cellphone charger is that USB looking device beside the water.

Sums things pretty nicely right?

And yes, I did go to bed right after taking this shot.

This photo did have some post processing done to it. It was converted to Black and White, as well as shadow and noise reduction.

Let There Be Light

Project 365 - Day 10

I took several more pictures today than yesterday. Some of my finally finished knitted socks, some of my belly, one of dried rose petals in a crystal vase. But the one that stood out the most was of the photo I took of the new ceiling fan.

I was just taking some random snap shots around the house at all the painting still going on and took one of the new fan. It turned out to be the best shot of the day. I love the way the light is reflected in the shot and the shadows stretch.

If you look close enough you can see the evidence of our on going painting and renovations in this photo as well with the lighter paint edging the ceiling.
