Black and white straws.

I have noticed that at some time during their 365 journey people post straw photos, pencil photos, orb photos, light painting photos etc.

I thought I would post a straw photo as part of my black and white month as I haven't taken a photo using straws so far in my project.

Today's main album photo

The only way I have a hope of catching up tonight is with a group reply, sorry. We have been out for a barbeque today and tonight when I hoped to catch up the damned power went off just after we got home and was off for a couple of hours. All planning is flexible I suppose.

I was pleased with my first straw photo. These straws are black and white and the only thing I did to this shot was to increase the contract slightly.

@onewing well I want me some of those straws - they are gorgeous

[Babs]

@annied They are in the Reject Shop type of shops. Different colour ones too. These are black and white and are cardboard ones. I knew they would come in handy one day.

[Annie D]

@onewing a gal after my own heart lol

[Gena Pegg]

Very cool Babs! Good eye for seeing them. Reminds me of your b&w wrapping paper shots...loved those!

[Paula W]

This is really arty and highly effective Babs, fav.

[Rachel]

This looks great! Fav

[Babs]

@eyesmile Thanks Gena. I bought these straws in the same shop as the black and white wrapping paper. It was a good day. I knew they would come in handy one day.

[Babs]

@paulaw @888rachel Thanks so much for the favs. A lot of people do straw photos on their 365 and I have wanted to try this shot for a while.
