Phone with a Face

This is just a quick shot of some pieces from an antique phone that, when positioned like this, resemble a face. Later, we’ll see some kitchen items that look even more like a face.

Cookies – Hard Light

These are the same cookies with a little more direct lighting from camera-left. Notice the harder shadows behind the white dots on the green tree.

Cookies – Soft Light

These are some of the cookies that went on the plate from Day 86 for the school auction. The winning bid was $125, which made Bethie proud! She did a great job decorating them. This image uses very soft, diffused lighting. Tomorrow I’ll post a second shot of the cookies with somewhat more direct lighting.

Product Shot 2

Here’s the same light as yesterday’s post, but with a background of a more appropriate theme for a camping accessory. This light is a bit of a joke in terms of brightness, but in its defense, it’s sold as a tent marker, not as a device for illuminating anything. I use it as a flashlight for night-time photography because the red light won’t mess with my night vision.
