Stars & Stripes

The weather today was ssssssooo grey and dark I couldn't even get any cool rain photos... so I resorted to doing macro of some cool spices. I love the bright colours and interesting shapes of culinary spices, so it may be an area I explore further on particularly horrendous weather days. =)

For this composition I put the spices on a white shelf, and the shadow is cast from a desk lamp on the left which is the only light I used.

Gorgeous colours! I did a bit of a series with these spices a while back and quite enjoyed it.

This is beautiful! The lighting is perfect. I can't believe it is a desk lamp. I may need to get myself one because the light in our house is terrible. BTW, what are the star spices?

[Lisa Pouncy]
