Bowl full of Sugar January 4, 2010

Bowl full of Sugar, originally uploaded by picturethepromises.

Here in ND we had another cloudy dreary day. That makes shooting outdoors hard. The snow looks gray, the sky is gray, trees, roads even houses are gray. So what to find to shoot inside without the wonderful sunlight I had yesterday. I don't like to use my flash so how do I get enough light? I wanted a little more than the ceiling lights will give me and I don't have a soft box. However, I do have an Ott-Light.. I have not tried this before but I think it worked ok. I set the bowl of leftover candy under the light and used the manual setting on my camera. I like the result. That's the point of this project. To learn, learn, learn!

It is the middle of winter, there will be plenty of dreary days, I will probably do this again!

Okay, I accepted a challenge to take at least one photo every day for the next 365 with the hopes of improving my photography skills. The challenge is to pick up my camera every day, to try something new, something different, new angles, different light, different subjects. I plan to post them here on my blog. Here is my first pic for Thursday September 3, 2009. I know, not so "unusual" but supper last evening was very tasty!
