Using the Outdoors as a Photo Prop

I am joining Susan

at A Southern Daydreamer for 

Outdoor Wednesday.

This has been the first truly amazing week

when it comes to the weather that 

we have had this Spring.

Sure there has been a day here or there

that hinted at great things

to come but to have a string of 

sunny days in a row is just wonderful!!

Lately I have taken to stepping out the back

door to the deck for photos of candle 

products.  This is all well and good

except that the backgrounds have 

gotten kind of similar and 

predictable.

So today I mixed it up.

Adding an arrangement from the 

house and moving the little table to 

a better location.

One that allowed good light

without bleaching out the soft 

pink of these candles.

It was fun.

I am really getting into the 

photography side of what I do.

This was the second attempt to photograph

these this afternoon.

The first ones were no good at all.

So, I am learning ....so much.

I am sure that one day I will look

back at these and cringe.

But for now 

with my little 

Canon

point and shoot,

 the natural dappled sunlight

and the green of the 

grass and leaves....

I'm content.
