More with Light! :D

I finally got a chance to take a few really thinking about the light.

So many people had lovely tree photos that I wanted to try one. Mine didn't come out quite as well but I took it with a lot of bright light coming in the window on the tree and I wonder how it might change if I tried this one again at night.



When we sat down to dinner, this glass of wine just looked amazing. I swear I had never seen such a pretty glass of wine! It was just sparkling all over the place!

I wanted to get a photo that really showed how it was so colorful and pretty but I couldn't get it to work! This is the best I could get it to come out, but it's no where near how it actually looked. I did try both with and without flash but the colors and sparkles just weren't coming through. Any suggestions would be really appreciated. I just kept thinking how Sandie said that we should be able to capture anything we see, but I couldn't figure out how!



I gave up on trying to get the color right and just went for an interesting photo. This one came out acceptable. But I'm just still bummed about the colors!

My Assignment #1 Photos

I'm not home for much daylight in the winter.. leave for work and it's dark. Get home from work and its pitch black outside already... so getting some shots in different light might be hard right now, but I dug through my previous photos with my xti and found these that I thought paid special attention to lightning when I took them.

Sunset in Chicago - Venitian Night 07

I'm going to keep my eyes open for other interesting lighting though, even if it's at work or somewhere I don't have my camera. Maybe if I ever get my Christmas tree up this year, I might be able to create some new interesting lighting.... :)
