One more shot of the jar for the mundane challenge, but an eye of the beholder type shot too. If you're wondering about the number 4, I did play around with some artsy processing in BeFunky on this one, but decided plain and simple with a little cross-processing was better.
@httpgeffed Thank you Colleen! I have a few too- I've always thought they were beautiful in their own way. So nice to have a reason to show it in a photograph.
@kerristephens Thank you Kerri! @dakotaburns Thanks Donald! It's a great jar- I actually keep my stevia in it and use it everyday. @karenann Thanks Karenann! Yes, I know that- so you can be sure I did not name this challenge! lol (Did you memorize that list?!) Here is my layman's explanation of "cross-processing". It's a throwback to the days when film prints were processed in the dark room. Once in a while a photographer would play with the chemicals and deliberately "cross" or mix them in a way that would effect the way the color print would come out (such as over-emphasized yellows or greens). You can also do this with black and white- you could use color chemicals to process a black and white picture or vice versa. The end result sometimes gave a picture a completely different feel. I'm not sure how they program this in digital processing but in the case of this shot, I'd taken it in b/w and the "cross-process" effect gave it a yellowish/ecru tint. I hope that makes sense. @sgoodin1 Thanks Sara! I don't have many but the ones I do have are all used in my kitchen for various and sundry things. @tara11 Thanks Tara! I took this today at about 3 in the afternoon. Most of the light in this shot is coming from the window over the kitchen sink. @digitalrn Thanks Rick! @daisy Thank you Kathryn! @eniaral Thanks Laraine- it crops quite a bit out but really features the clasp that way.
I tried to memorize your list, Ann. :) And thanks for the explanation on cross-processing. I always want to experiment with apps and processing. But, then, I never do. Either no time or I just makes things worse. :)
@karenann You are so sweet!! The nice thing about digital processing is that if it looks awful you just press "undo"! You wouldn't believe how many times I press that button before I post my pictures on 365!!
@sarasdadandmom Thank you Terry! Believe it or not the jar was not empty when I took this shot. It had stevia packets in it but they are green like the jar and blend right in! So there is something good in it after all! (Stevia is a natural sweetener- better for you than sugar or those chemical substitutes.)
Love the look of this. Which reminds me I need to buy a few of these Mason jars to make "salad in a jar" ... You can never have enough of these around.

Thank you Janice, Sally, Jennifer, Dione, Carole, Smitha, Andy and Phil! Thanks for all the compliments on the jar! It's a good jar and great subject!
