Here's my first attempt of the Oh Snap! photography challenge. Today's show was supposed to be a sunset. I've been wanting to photograph a sunset, but the sun didn't cooperate today. It was misty and grey all day- fading into darker grey as the day ended.
I chose my new orchid as a substitute subject. I read that flowers photograph well against a black backdrop, but I didn't have a black backdrop. Instead I chose my red dining room wall as the background because I like how the red contrasts with the blue of the flowers. I should have used a tripod to keep the camera steadier for a sharper photo. I should have done something different with the lighting. These orchids were a Christmas gift from my mother in law. Thank you, Mary Ann!
One more bonus photo from Christmas morning. I like how this close-up shot captures the moment in the details while losing the identities.
Day one: done! I'll describe my goals and results as I go. Feel free to comment with tips or suggestions!
