Ellipsis Monday Photo Shoot #88: Upside Down

Carly gave us an easy assignment this week. Well, according to her, at least.

EMPS # 88: Upside Down.
Here is an easy assignment. Simply find something that is UPSIDE DOWN and photograph it. It's all up to you what the object is. Big. Small. Old. New. I can't wait to see what you come up with!

I wanted to try to get some reflection shots, but I never got around to it. But, since I was washing some wine glasses I came up with these. One is with flash and one without flash. I'm not a fan of the lighting in the flash, but I wanted to try it out. Our kitchen is kind of dark in the evening so I thought I'd have a better chance of getting a good shot with flash.

That's all I did for this week. Check out Carly's blog for the other entries.

Ellipsis Monday Photo Shoot #45: Black and Blue

Carly wants some black and blue things this week. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you look at it, I don't have a have bruise to show you. Those are always fun to share.

Here's what I do have for you this week:

I had a little trouble finding some things with the correct colors at first. Then I remembered some wine bottles we had in the house. The wine bottle pops up a few times.

On this first try, I tried to focus through the bottle. It turned out okay, not great.

Next, I tried to get more of the lettering, the lighting wasn't great, as you can see:

It was more of a flash problem than anything else.

Then, I took a picture of my new baby in it's protective case.

You didn't think it was going to be an actual baby, did you?

Lastly, the wine bottle came back and I tried to work with some sunlight coming through a window.

Like I said, I tried.

For the extra credit Carly wanted to know something about or favorite colors and favorite color choices for photography. Well, my favorite color is red, but I don't find it easy to photograph. I find some shades of green easier. Maybe it's just because I like nature shots.

That's all for today. Go check out the other shots now.
