Oranges and Texture
This afternoon I was watching an awesome show on the history of photography, and it inspired me to take a couple of shots myself. Coincidentally, I noticed that the lighting in the kitchen window was really nice. Here are the best two shots:
"Little Cuties" Oranges
I really like the simplicity of the image and the nice consistent arrangement of the fruit. I also really love the vibrant colors. (This was directly as shot other than the crop.)
Stained Paper Texture
This was a bit of a surprise. I noticed a piece of paper sticking out of a cookbook on the table. Water on the paper had made the ink bleed through in interesting patterns. I was quite surprised how well the photo came out. It really shows off the subtle texture of the paper. A little bump up in saturation makes the colors of the ink pop out. I also had to push the contrast to make the texture more evident.
