helping a friend...

so my friend Kate is starting a new business venture in the near future. while having breakfast one morning last week she mentioned that the pictures for her website were not pictures of her actual product (shortbread...yum!). I said I would be happy to take pictures of her shortbread for her to use. I believe it's important to show people the product they are actually buying! long story short: I spent almost two hours taking lots of pictures and here are some of my personal favorites! doesn't the shortbread look delicious?!

30 Day Photography Challenge: days 21 - 25

I think this is the group of pictures I've had done the longest. I had pretty much forgotten what they even looked like; good thing I'm satisfied with what I took. My favorite picture in this group is probably my animal shot or maybe it's the sunflare. I love taking pictures with sunflare...they almost always turn out stunning!

Day 21: faceless self-portrait

Day 22: hands

Day 23: sunflare

Day 24: animal

Day 25: something pink

Yes, that is pink ice cream. Actually, it's fat-free frozen yogurt: raspberry pomegranate. So delicious!

30 Day Photography Challenge: days 16 - 20

so the challenges for this group of five days was good for me. I didn't even know what one of the photography terms was and had to turn to my trusty resource guide (aka google) to figure it out. once I read about it and saw some examples I realized I have bokeh in my pictures quite often. well, often enough that I recognized it when I saw it. just another term to add to my photography lexicon. another interesting challenge was long exposure...something I don't have a lot of practice with. to be quite honest, I had to study many examples to get a good feel for what it should look like. but I think I managed to accomplish a long exposure picture just fine. enjoy!

Day 16: long exposure

Day 17: technology

Day 18: your shoes

Day 19: something orange

Day 20: bokeh

anyone want to guess which book my bokeh picture is from? or what the orange item is? Hints: it's one of the Harry Potter books; something from my cousin's wedding. Toodles!

30 Day Photography Challenge: days 11 - 15

it's that time again; time to see more of my challenge photos. I enjoyed this set of 5 quite a lot. I tried to think as creatively as possible and believe I came up with some clever set-ups. I hope you enjoy these pictures as well!

Day 11: something blue
White Peach - day 11

Day 12: sunset
White Peach - day 12

Day 13: yourself with 13 things
White Peach - day 13

Day 14: eyes
White Peach - day 14

Day 15: silhouette
White Peach - day 15

so my favorite challenge of mine this time was the something blue. I thought and thought and thought about something interesting I could do for this challenge. suddenly, inspiration struck. school's starting again soon. crayons are an important part of school-life and boom!..a picture of different shades of blue crayons. in an interesting display of course!

my favorite of White Peach's is definitely her with 13 things. I mean, talk about being creative. really clever and fun. 

halfway through the challenge...phew! am not quite finished with the next 5 on the list. perhaps I should get those done. and soon too. happy Monday!
