get pushed #71 - white on white

my good friend sally @salza and i are reunited this week as partners for this segment of the get pushed challenge, and this is her challenge to me. i can't get rid of the shadows; if i put anymore lights to get rid of them, the photo gets washed out and turns into high key.

(partner bought the wrong vanilla ice cream!)

this is pure sooc.

[Cathrine Mitchell]

Wow!! Would have never thought that white and white would look so well. Lovely composition my friend and I hope you are feeling better.

[summerfield]

@cathrinemitch - feeling good enough to get to work. thank you, my good friend.

[summerfield]

@salsa - partner got the wrong vanilla ice cream so i'm back with the soup tureen! what do you think of this one?

[bkb in the city]

Well done

[Sally Ings]

I like this. I'm sorry to be the cause of so much frustration! I hope the ice cream is at least tasty and that you've enjoyed a serving!

[Dixie Goode]

oh yeah now I want vanilla ice cream. Nice

[summerfield]

@bkbinthecity - thank you, brian.

[summerfield]

@salza - no, you're not the cause of my frustrations. and i didn't eat any ice cream. i don't like vanilla. ick! :-) thank you, sally.

[summerfield]

@pandorasecho - i wish i could send it to you, it's the better vanilla ice cream so you would love it! thank you, dixie.

[Claire]

I think you have to look at the positives. (you know that though)
Thumbnail to thumbnail it looks it looks so much better, I guess it is just a case of keep trying but it would frustrate the hell out of me:0)

[Cheryl Sim]

It is amazing how many shades of white there are. I absolutely love the simplicity of this shot and have to fav it!

[June]

Wow, it looks great, really nice and white! Nice one!

[dh (delena)]

This is much whiter than the last attempt. Did he buy yellow vanilla ice-cream?

[summerfield]

@dh - yes, french vanilla it's called.

[summerfield]

@claireuk - i'm looking at it from the office monitor (which normally turns everything darker) and i'm quite pleased with the white contrasts. if i have to re-do this i'd try to not have the shadow on the left handle. but i'm happy with it. thank you, my friend claire.

@silverlight - thank you, cheryl and for the generous fav, too.

@678tabby - thank you, june.

@dh - thank you, dh.

[summerfield]

@salza - methinks i'll do a red on red next. i have a nice red velvet backdrop. i just have to find something red to photograph. :-)

[Terry]

I think you do fine on your own, without being pushed. This is a simple and good shot

[summerfield]

@sarasdadandmom - aw, terry, that's very sweet of you. thank you.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I'm looking at these backwards but in the thumbnail this definitely looks more white on white. I wouldn't worry about the ice cream- I think the glossy ceramic works better. Good job. It'll be interesting to see what you do with red on red.

[summerfield]

@olivetreeann - thank you, ann. i think it depends on the monitor. at the office this looks really white, not washed out white, but white and it was quite pretty. well, partner keeps buying the wrong ice cream so i just might forget that. i yet have to find something red here at home nor in the office.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@summerfield Red shoes perhaps?

[☠northy]

wow! i think you pulled it off really well! and very impressive that you achieved this in camera!

[summerfield]

@olivetreeann - of course! gotta find them!

[Carolyn Sue]

very elegant in its simplicity!
