Awesome August 22

Lovely picture!
August 23rd, 2012  
Great choice for B&W. Love the curves of the bottle and the the way the composition falls into sections of light or dark.
August 23rd, 2012  
Great photo. Love the B/W.
August 23rd, 2012  
The indentations produce so many light differences!
August 23rd, 2012  
Cool shot in b&w!

@kerristephens Thanks Kerri!
@annaruth Thanks Anna! How are you doing? I've been praying for you!
@zandme Thank you Tasha!
@karenann Thank you Karenann! So, here is some good news for you- I took about a dozen shots of this little fellow this morning- and kept only one. And you're looking at it! Now, I know you will say 1 out of 12 is better than what I would do! But remember- it was 30 seconds- so there could have been a lot more that weren't kept as well!! See- you are just fine when it comes to shooting many and keeping few!
@httpgeffed Thanks Colleen! I also bought a neat little green one, which I'm sure will serve as a subject in the future.
@kandernob Thanks Karen! The morning light in my home is wonderful. It's the best time to shoot photos in my house.
@summerfield Thanks Vikki! (see comment above concerning the lighting). I liked it too because it was just a little different- just like me!

@paulavdmerwe Thanks Paula!
@allie912 Thanks Allison! The lighting in my house in the morning is great for b/w photos. It's really soft but fills the picture. I was about to run out for the day and thought, "I think I'll take 30 seconds and shoot that little bottle before I leave" and voila- here is the result.

@henrir Thanks Henri!
@maggiemae Thanks Maggie! I bought it just because I knew it would take great photos.
@pjonas Thanks Patty!
@wenbow Thanks Wendy!
@mrssmith Thanks Carla!
@daveanajao Thanks Dave! Good to see you here again!!
@tanja_1211 Thanks Tanja! I love the way the light comes in to my home in the morning. It's a great time to shoot things like this bottle.
August 23rd, 2012  
nice shot. I can just imagine this little bottle holding some nice flowers or something like that. Did you have something in mind for it when you got it?
August 23rd, 2012  
@olivetreeann aww! thank you! I am going through some trials right now. But daily handing it over to God.
August 23rd, 2012  
@bkbinthecity Thanks Brian- it's very tiny, but I think a clover or a violet might work! Yes, I bought it to take photos of! And also to put with my other glass pieces on my windowsill. It's only an inch or two high, so it will fit right in.
August 23rd, 2012  
@annaruth I will keep praying then!
August 23rd, 2012  
Great composition and lighting!
August 23rd, 2012  
Very nice shot. Love the composition you made with this bottle.
August 23rd, 2012  
Great shot of this glass bottle. Great light.

@lyoungs1023 @anazad511 @daisy

Thank you Elizabeth! Thank you Ana! And thank you Kathryn! I love the light in my home in the morning. It's very soft and the perfect tone for black and white. So, I decided to shoot the little bottle before I ran off for the day. When I saw the bottle back in July, I knew it'd be a great little subject for a photo shoot someday and that day finally arrived!
August 23rd, 2012  
You know me all too well, Ann!! :)
August 23rd, 2012  
August 23rd, 2012  
Love the light and the tones!
August 23rd, 2012  
@ruthmouch Thank you Ruth! The sunlight comes into my home so beautifully in the morning. I had intended to head out for the day but thought "I think I'll do my 30 second shoot before I go" taking advantage of that beautiful lighting.
August 23rd, 2012  
Beautiful, simple and very effective.
August 23rd, 2012  
Nice shot! Looks good in B&W :)
August 23rd, 2012  
Terrific shot.

@salza @alia_801 @sangwann

Thank you Sally!
Thank you Alia!
Thank you Dione!
August 23rd, 2012  
beatiful shot, lovely bottle! great buy!
August 23rd, 2012  
Cool find! Nice treatment of lighting and shadows....ideal in b & w!
August 23rd, 2012  
Bev
I like how the light shines through it and you can see the shadow off to the side as well. Nice processing. Well done!
August 23rd, 2012  
Love the black and white and simplistic mood.
August 23rd, 2012  
I think this is lovely, and it looks very composed - I'd never have guessed that this was taken in the course of a 30 second flurry. Very impressive!
August 23rd, 2012  
@mhatch Thanks Mark!
@cimes1 Thanks Carole!
@prttblues Thanks Bev! No processing other than the addition of the vignette (I'm using it on all the shots this week to somewhat tie them together). It's truly sooc as far as the lighting and comp. go.
@juleswoome Thanks Julie! This is one of my favorite spots to photograph things in my house.
@automaticslim It's really amazing what you can do in 30 seconds if you don't over-think what you're doing. So for this one, I chose the subject, chose the spot (cleared all the stuff of the counter- lol), put the bottle down and took shots, changing the position of the bottle every once in a while, or changing the nearness or space between the bottle and the camera- all the while counting 1 one hundred, 2 one hundred, 3 one hundred...so that I kept true to the 30 second aspect of the challenge.
August 23rd, 2012  
I love the bottle and the lights and shadows coming through it.

@nadaa Thanks Nada!
August 24th, 2012  
I love bottles! My dining room window is full of them! This looks great in b&w
August 24th, 2012  
@m9f9l Thanks M! I love glass- especially glass things in a windowsill!
August 24th, 2012  
Yes! Our house actually has small wooden shelves built right across the dining room window. So I have glass bottles and vases on all of them :-)
August 24th, 2012  
Really cool shot
August 26th, 2012  
@melorac Thanks Carole! I do love the way light intermixes with glass.
August 27th, 2012  
Love the tones and lighting.
August 28th, 2012  
@la_photographic Thank you Laura!
August 28th, 2012  
The light is so pretty!
August 28th, 2012  
@potsbypam Thanks Pam! Morning light is the best light in my home.
