Vintage suitcases & trunk...pin cushion..

The shadows are played up in the first photo....hidden are the dirty marks of the olde suitcases and trunk. There are a million different ways to "touch up" this single photograph.  Next, the natural light of day with only a flash...pretty plain...        

























           
In the first of the bottom two photos, the emphasis is on the play of the light rather than the texture of the tablecloth.  The vintage pincushion at the macro setting and the sepia tone of the second photo causes one to notice more of the detail of the tablcloth.  The shine of the silver is contrasted more against the background but not necessarily brighter.  I don't know which I like better?!



More experimenting to come.....pics of some things around the house....and another poem...later this week...hope you come back for a look.

  1. The second pin cushion shoe is my favorite but I love both pictures of the suitcases - in the top one I can see the heart on the lamp and the bottom one shows how it fits in the room! Fun seeing you learn more and more about the photography ins and outs. Thanks for sharing your words, too. I do enjoy the script of your thoughts. N
