S2F2/Texture Tuesday

I'm joining in with a new class by Kim Klassen..... Start to Finish 2, great fun. The first day, Kim encouraged us to write down our intentions for the class.  

Day 1

Day 2- Finding the Light

The exercise today was to take photos at various times of day in different parts of our homes.

The first photos were taken by the  north facing window in my breakfast room, with the light coming from the right of the photo. I used kk_sylvia ( correction...sybil ) at 50% soft light on these ones. I used my Canon 40mm f/2.8 which is my new love :)

This second set was taken on the high kitchen counter which faces into the living area. I have lots of windows in this part of the house, which faces west, but the light is still darker here.

Lastly, I went upstairs to my office ( which I would love to turn into a studio so I could have my props displayed instead of them all being shoved in various closets....! ) The window here faces almost south. I used two layers of kk_justatouch1, one at soft light, one at color burn, both 50% on the last photo.

Upon reflection, maybe I should have used a reflector to bounce the light back.....but it was an interesting exercise ! I love my new bowl ( I bought 2 ) and lovely napkin which I found at Pier 1 yesterday. Then I found the chopsticks in one of my prop boxes which were sent to me from a friend in Singapore....perfect !

I have to apologize for not replying to some of the lovely comments on my last post.  I could only reply to the first few comments for some reason :(  The reply button does not work and despite a lot of searching for answers, I still cannot figure out a solution.  So thank you all very much for commenting, I truly appreciate it :)
