White, white and....darn, that's a shadow! by homeschoolmom

White, white and....darn, that's a shadow!

My Get Pushed challenge this week is to take a white on white photo. Very challenging, but I think the answer is to use lots of light and watch for shadows (as you can see, I wasn't really successful at that part). By editing in RAW, I can control the color and make s sure it doesn't look blue or yellow.
Here's yesterday's attempt "gone bad!" LOL!

@mzzhope Here's another try at my challenge!

In Lightroom you could get rid of that shadow.

Shoot, i've never tried white on white. Seems hard to get right. Lovely tureen you have!

@joansmor I actually got rid of much of it, but I didn't want to go any more. I was starting to lose detail.

@amandal Thanks! It's quite the challenge!

You'd probably have to have light coming from all angles on this piece in order to take it without shadows. But I think you've done an excellent job and the small amount of shadow does not bother me one bit.

Nice one Lisa

Cool white on white shot.
July 23rd, 2014  
Love that creamy white. Well done!

white on white and no shadows? or is it typical to have no shadows with "white on white"?
July 23rd, 2014  
So clean looking shot:)
July 23rd, 2014  
Very interesting capture

@olivetreeann Thanks! Yes, I did. Lots of light!
@sarasdadandmom @mittens @pflaume @joemuli @appsie Thanks!
@zosimasy Well, I was trying for as little shadow as possible, just the white. I guess some shadow is OK, depends on what you are going for, I guess.

I think this is a beautiful result - and what a great title!

I love to see people being stretched a little. This is great. I love the sheen

It is not easy, as you lots of light and hit all the angles with it, hopefully without causing other shadows. Was this the same rose from the teapot shot?
July 26th, 2014  
I find the focus very difficult with white on white shots, but you've managed it perfectly here.
July 26th, 2014  
@sianipops Yes, it's the same teapot lid actually!
@dh Thanks! I had my camera on the macro setting. That helps.
July 26th, 2014  
You nailed it - well done!

@homeschoolmom even more amazed at your white on white transformation then from the yellow.

@lynnilou Thanks!
@sianipops Thanks! It was definitely harder keeping it white and still showing the detail. When I colorized it, the detail popped. But, it's really just white.

Thanks for the challenge - not an easy one but I will give it a try. Yes we can issue new challenges for next week too.
