May C̶h̶a̶l̶l̶e̶n̶g̶e Theme: Light and Shadow

In keeping with the Monthly C̶h̶a̶l̶l̶e̶n̶g̶e I wonder if Theme might generate more interest?

I have always looked forward to the challenges, but there are times I feel a bit, meh...
"Meh" isn't a feeling that inspires me to put effort into something...or Anything. And for someone like me that loves to experiment... that discourages me.

So, problem solving me thought to my self, "Self. What about using a 'theme' for each month?"

In keeping with May's theme, Light and Shadow:

Geometry of Glass
I had the vignette setup of stacked glasses on a 4 ft x 6 ft mirror the previous night in my photo studio (AKA: Dining room table). I couldn't get the lighting right as I don't have studio lights of any type, so I gave up.

The next morning as I went to put everything away, the sunlight from the window struck the corner bezel of the mirror. I immediately placed a sheet of white cardstock for the background. Within 2 minutes the lighting has completely changed.

Great job, Dean! One of your best.

Nice work capturing that light, Dean! It's a good set up ... except for the spider. Lol! Actually it adds a nice touch to the overall story.

Thank you kindly.

Sorry about the Rorschach test revealing your phobias. It took me a moment to see what you saw.

To help you along, here is a different view (I hope it helps)

Austin, Texas Blue Hour

Was down in Austin for a bit on a work trip. I've always heard how beautiful the skyline is from the river.

Was a little let down by the clouds, but what can I do!

Two from Tenerife

My two favourite images from my recent night time adventure in Tenerife. Foregrounds and skies were shot separately and blended in PS.

Any interest in this group?

Hi all, I was looking for such a group but see that although there are many members there hasn’t been a single post. Is there interest out there in getting this group going?
