Music sheet background
More with the the still life. I have been doing a good bit of close up and still life in the home. It is boring to just use a white or black back ground, for most subjects though they isolate so well. The black, especially uses so much light! So, here is another idea. Do you like the way the bottom of the music sheet is in focus, yet fades to obscurity? Let me know what you think!
Oh! It's a dragon.
I bent up an old clothes hanger and strung fishing line across the gap. What ya' think?

In house studio
This is my table top backdrop. I'll use it for the beer bottle project and other smallish subjects. The PVC frame is exceptional because it is so versital. I can clip any of my background colors to it. So convinient.
Notice the spy?

New Years '16
I took this shot around 8 A.M., on the first day of 2016. It is kind of a tradition for me to walk around and take a few shots of the aftermath from the evening before. I like this...I am not sure why, maybe I wonder what happened to the glass that held the ice. I'm not sure, but he colours and shapes of the ice cubes work for me. Maybe I wonder why these pieces of ice are where they are and how did they make it so long after being spilled?
Risking the Dead Guy Ale.
Though it was pretty expensive, the name screamed at me. The beer, or ale I'm not sure of the difference, was good. Something my local beer-bartender called "A good experience." I'm not really sure how to define a good beer experience, I just liked the taste. It was a little nutty and sweet with a slight bitter after taste. I may not get it again until I win the lottery, but if you have some extra money and wanna try something different...go for it!
As for the photograph, I'm experimenting with lighting a little. I need to work on reflections, but I think the rest of the image is pretty good.
Since taking this photo I learned an interesting trick. You probably saw it, if you scrolled from the top. I have learned how to dull out the reflections. And will retake the image. Minus the full glass of beer here! It may take a New York minute to get the image up, though

On the side of the road
Some friends of mine, who know more about these things than I, say this is a good picture, but it could be better.
What do you think?
Please leave a comment.

Sunset on Lexington Ave
Sunset on Lexington
I did a little post on this, just to enhance the colors as I saw them.

Rainbow Hummer
Here is an experiment in depth of field. Again I think the color balance could be better, but...
I'm gonna retake this one and see about keeping the whole image in a better focal range. If you started from the top, you have already seen the redo.

The bowl
This image needs work on the color balance, yet the warmth of the wood is good.
Here is a ruler representation of the bowl, but a different and. 
What do you think?

Bluebirds or Mumming birds?
This is an experiment in lighting. The Bluebird is really one of of a set of earnings.

My wannabe home studio
I have been trying to teach myself lighting. I read somewhere to do this, learning I mean, is by taking a few pictures on the table. So, now I am doing some still-life. My make shift backdrop is a coat closet with a sheet. I saw on YouTube the design for a pvc stand for close upset Macro photos.
So, here it is.
Oh yeah, there is a spy here.

Pretty eyes
I am not sure if she is a Husky or Malamute, but she made it very apparent she wanted her portrait taken. Her eyes are very pretty.
