My adventure in twilight photography did not compare well to the photos taken in natural light. Everything I have read, suggest taking pictures in natural light...I should have listened. Guess I thought I could re-invent the wheel. Like I knew something the "real" photograpers didn't know. I have always loved the serene elegance in a white on white color scheme. It isn't a white out because of the various shades I used and then picked up accents of gold, silver and soft pink. Lets talk about pink. NOT a color I am drawn to. It is a beautiful color, just not my color so when I purchase a pink plastic Barbie item, the first order of business is to paint it. Plastic spray paint can turn a yellowing old pink chair into a real shabby chic find.
See, not bad. I have one more and also the table with the silver "mirror" stuck to the top of it with something that could hold a fighter jet together. Everyone have a peaceful night and a great Tuesday.
My guess is you become a "real photographer" by experimenting and testing what others tell/suggest. Now you *know* about nighttime photographing from experience.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
The photography part of this has been overwhelming for me. Thanks for your advice.
DeleteHello from Spain: wow, wow ... I love your photos dedicated to Christmas. I love your fireplace. Did you create your chimney? I also like the window with the image of the snow outside. You always decorate the rooms very elegant. I love the white boots. Are original Mattel??? You are an inspiration. Congratulations ..... Keep in touch
ReplyDeleteYes, I made the fireplace. It was my first experience with miter cuts without the help of my husband AND I used a chop saw to do it. I was sooooo proud. The boots were an Etsy purchase as well as the sweater and skirt. Thank you so much for the compliments...you, also are very inspiring. Talk soon....
DeleteI use inexpensive lightweight photo studio lighting lamps. They can be dismantled and stored in their box if you don’t like tall lamps hanging around. Also adjust the aperture on your camera. Wide open aperture lets more light into your camera, so you get a brighter image.
ReplyDeleteI love your chair repaint. It looks very chic now.
Store something in a box...NEVER. LOL I appreciate the tip. Your photos are always perfect. And thanks, I love the chair, also. A little Krylon plastic paint and vavoom.
