Just in case Cuisinart tries to copy my idea, all rights reserved! hahahahahaha!
Oh, Jerry, I think this one and the selfie will do me in. Who knows, but this was fun putting my "mixers" against the wall. They fell, cast shadows I didn't want (I used my phone torch to eliminate some shadows), and leaned(that fork just would NOT listen--typical).
My egg, well, it's like a half-moon at this point and I can't even figure out half of what I did in this shot, but clearly I am not cut out for this stuff in execution, but concept, well, now you could hire me for that I guess! LOL!
Nicely done! There are ways and ways of getting everything in ranging form changing the lighting to HDR to manipulating it in Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop.
@steampowered The WHOLE time I was thinking "how can I get Paul to come to the states and give me a month's worth of lessons on PSE 10!" I have decided that next year is my year to explore the world of processing. This was processed in LR5 and I really do not know what I am doing. I wish I had time for tutorials, so it's all trial by fire for now. Thanks for your comments! :)
@jo13 not easy at all, and the dreaded selfie is coming. Oh, and just so you know, your selfie ages ago (the waking one) is still my all-time favorite!
I have much appreciation for the creativity of the concept and execution. I rather like it. LR5 is by far my favorite processing solution. You said you don't have a remote for an upcoming shot. I realize you probably already thought of it, but would the timer suffice?
@darylo If you shoot in Raw then there are so many ways to do things that I could show you. I would love to come to the States but I am not so sure that Donna would let me! :o)
@rellimdj I do use the timer and I did for this shot and last night's, but I was thinking for the selfie I have to do Friday that a remote would really be a good thing. No one is here at my home office during the day, so getting the focus perfect means I have to construct some kind of dummy to be me (and it will most likely be off). I have a remote on my wishlist (hey Santa, you listening?). :)
@steampowered Raw is on my Year Two list as well. Raw and PSE are beyond my comprehension. Oh, I would invite Donna too. I would be the best Bed and Breakfast host ever. :)
@darylo Ah yes, I see. I also have a remote on my Christmas list this year, along with a bunch of lenses and other nice things that my better half insists I don't need. We'll see if Santa will persuade her to get me at least one item off it. :-)
This is COOL! I loved your story about how you got the shot. And that RED mixer! I love a pop of color in the kitchen. I have a "Metamucil can Orange" tea kettler. It is this bright orange. I love it.
Daryl your work is AWESOME.You should join in every challenge!I love your creativity.And I would tag that car!!!It IS your image.It is in the time frame AND it is Sooooooo in the spirit of the artist! It would get my vote,girl.
