I LOVE this photo I can't believe I took it today. Candles, dried lavender and dried roses, sage bundle, twine, crystals and feathers. Nikon D750 50mm lens.  I think this is the best photo I have ever taken and that makes me happy!!!

Dried roses dining room window. Nikon D750 50mm lens. Playing with backlight.  I sometimes think I like the dried roses better than the live.

 Some random shots of leaves. I am retaking Kim Klassen's Multiples course.  Always something to learn with my Nikon camera and my photography.  I tend to get into a rut and just take photos of the same old stuff.  Nice to shake it up a bit.

Dried hydrangea, spices, measuring spoons and my mom's old cook book and measuring cups. Nikon D750 50mm lens.

This is my mom's cookbook from 1952 Pillsbury and it cost 25 cents. How cool is that.

So I am experimenting with new places in the house to take photos - when I get more serious about it during the winter months. This is in my family room in front of the patio doors.

I bought a new sheer curtain panel and a new creamer at the thrift shop yesterday $2.50 - the panel is going to work so good over the patio door. Just grabbed a few props for a few pics. My mom's old measuring cups and cookie cutters, an old spice jar, my new measuring spoons (thanks Linda Austin - love them), and dried hydrangea in my new creamer. I took just a few photos but they are all good going to work on them in LR.

Nikon D750 105mm lens. Awesome

Dried roses dining room window. Nikon D750 50mm lens. Still working on this bright light. Dining room good for back light. Light Room is magical. Loving Kim Klassen's Elevate course.

Partially dried hydrangea. Nikon D750 50mm lens. Still playing with light and airy. These photos are way far out of my comfort zone but I am learning a lot about LR. I also found a new photo taking spot in my house and I think it is going to work out great.

Dried flowers. Nikon D750 50mm lens. So I am continuing working light and airy. Looking for new places in the house to take photos. Thought I would try in my family room by the patio door. Took a few test pics and they are all great. This spot would not be good for backlight but for this type of still life a great area. Lots more room for me to move around than the dining room.

Dried hydrangea dining room window. Nikon D750 50mm lens. I am playing with light and airy. I tend to like and take photos that are dark and moody. I have set up a challenge for myself to really explore light and airy. I got a note book and am writing down ideas, what props I might need, locations for shooting, camera info, etc. I want to in-depth explore light and airy and learn a few things along the way. I see this as being a long term project.

Today a shot a few test pics in the dining room window. It is a bright sunny day but I shot this about 3 PM. I shot backlight by the window. I am excited about this new project.
