Creative Vision

Today while I was getting ready in my bathroom I noticed this beautiful blue light coming through the glass window behind me. I immediately grabbed my camera and took a few shots. This led to me getting a little creative and taking lots of pictures around my house today. Here's what I came up with (all shot in manual mode):

Caught some smoke rising


This is looking down into a wine glass sitting on a wood table


Same glass from the side (notice my hand reflection?)


I decided to add some water and throw in a goldfish cracker. I told you I was getting crazy creative!


My first ever lens flair shot. How neat is this? Now I need to figure out how to do it without a glass reflection.


Really bright kitchen (light coming through window), aperture wide open (4.0), and shutter speed super fast. Result: lit subject with dark surroundings. I figured this out just by playing around with the settings.


And no photo-op is complete without at least one of the critters. Here's Murphy checking out what's going on out the window.
