carafe by summerfield

carafe

ooopsy! my photo is not in sync with the size of yesterday's photo, i don't think. i forgot to write down how much i cropped yesterday's photo and what processing i used. so, i may have to repost it. but how to do that without losing your precious comments, anyone knows?

in any case, here's a carafe that the office gave us several years ago along with six wine glasses. i wanted to keep the subjects as simple as possible seeing that the background is the vertical radiator. my next problem is that i didn't mark the floor on which i set the tripod last night so tonight i placed a tape to mark its place.

and this is just a hobby, for heaven's sakes!

thank you, ladies and gents, for your kind views and comments. they are much appreciated and treasured.
This reminds me of a cool way to draw a three dimensional hand print. You trace a hand abd draw horizontal parallel lines but as they cone across the hand curve them up and out like this picture kind of and color in between each set of lines. Now I'll have to do one to show.

As I look at your first thumbnail, this seems to line up with it perfectly!! And they look gorgeous together!! This is beautiful ... great to keep it simple ... very elegant!

@karenann - karenann, that's because i uploaded a 'corrected' size of last night's photo, but inorder for me to save all your comments, i re-posted last night's to the december 30, 2011 slot of my second album. i hope you don't mind. thank you, karenann, always appreciate your kind comments.

I like that you used the vent as a background. I like how it creates a refracted image in the carafe.

I really like the carafe against the radiator. Nice lighting. You sure have to put a lot of work into this hobby!

Funny how a hobby can turn into so much work. The end results are worth it though.

I don't mind at all, summerfield. I would have re-commented if you had asked!! :)

I like the sense of depth in this shot, and the way I can see the radiator through the glass. It's cool! Great shapes and lines. (You're a perfectionist and you drive yourself crazy like that. I know the feeling. XD )

Ooh nicely done! I like your creative technique for updating your pic too! I'd never have thought of that!

Very, very cool. Like how you captured the reflection of the radiator inside the glass, especially at the top. Great composition.

great choice of subject for in front of your radiator! I love how the lines get bent in the carafe

I like how this vase bends the lines and I see a face up top..lol

This is not a hobby- this is a lifestyle! Love how the vents are getting bent in the reflection.

I love the carafe!

The thumbnails really look cool together. The radiator was a great choice for this week. I like how the carafe distorts the radiator.
