Smell my dinner garlic

Hello my lovelies,
Tonight, while peeling the garlic for the sauce I was making, I noticed a pattern of the gloves as I was piling them up for chopping. They were begging me to include them in our current photo project. And since I have to be a good example and all (dont you just hate that), I conceded, and with the help of a lemon and Little B’s suggestion for a grass, I opened up the season with this probably not quite inspiring contribution; but at least I am in. I will not be a party-pooper.
Mind you, if I show up at a party after consuming this particular flower, I doubt I will be very popular.
In an attempt to make this post actually interesting, I will show you how this shot actually happened.
I rarely use the flash, and you can get a very similar effect if you shoot next to the window, but it was the end of the day and the light from the window was not strong enough so I decided to dust off and use my ‘fancy’ set up.
Too bad, I feel my subject was not worth the battery power used for the flash, but at least I will not poop on this party.
Will you?
P.S. I plan on doing something more interesting, ok.
I love that you have shown how you took this shot ! As an amature photographer I always wonder how people take their shots. Love it and love the shot too ! What kind of camera do you have?
H&C, I have a Nikon D200.
And I too love when photographers show how they got a particular shot. I would do it more often, but most of my shots are not planned and have nothing interesting in their set up.
Wow ! That is a nice camera! I have a canon 500D since June and am trying to put all that theory I have been reading for years and years into practice. Takes time to learn but so much fun along the way. Hope to come up with a photo to enter into your latest photo project. See how I go ;)
Is that the Canon Rebel? Its a wonderful camera, so now you have no excuse ;)
Best advice I can give you is to just shoot. The more pictures you take, the better you will be, just like any other skill.
That and have fun.
