Photos are meant to be shared
The blue and red color contrast on a basically white background make this image. Each side fights for attention and therefor this image has two focal points. One of the key insights in composition techniques is: One focal point means “Dominance”, two focal points “Tension!”
Have a great week-end with you camera!
I turned my attention to the shower know and photographed it a few times. I looked at the images and did not like them. Then I used my spay bottle and sprayed water on it to make it look like right after someone took a shower and vola, I got the image I was looking for. Creating great images means: To prepare the subject, choose the proper background, know your camera to expose according to your vision and post process to refine the image!
Enjoy and happy image making!
This is the toilet brush container and brush. This image could be easily seen as a cup, lid and straw. This makes it interesting to me. This images is also a so called high key picture, meaning that this image consists of more than 95% of white or near white colors.

I photographed the shower head and the light reflection of our small window including the blue butterfly decal. Having two focal points means that they eyes are constantly wandering from one to the other meaning I created an image full of tension.

It is good to start with photographic exercises again after the winter break. Since it is winter I decided for an indoor challenge. Create five interesting images inside your bathroom. This exercise will challenge you to maneuver your camera in a tiny place especially when you are using a tripod like I usually do. You will also have to deal with light issues. Some bathrooms don’t even have an outside window or the window is small. As always, enjoy this exercise!
I photographed the parts of the shower door and the outside window. Since I used a wide open lens focusing on the shower door I blurred the outside window.
I used ambient and strobe light to create this image. The ambient light shows as “yellow” light.
Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
PS: I will take a break from blogging until January 2011.
I photographed this bow using two light sources, window light for the background and strobe light for the foreground.

These stars were attached to a Christmas letter. I liked the idea. Notice how the eyes go automatically to the brightest star in the left upper corner.Enjoy and happy photographing!
I photographed these wooden stars in a window before sunrise using a 70-200 lens mounted on a tripod. Besides the wooden stars there was a large paper star hanging in the window whose reflection in the window I made part of the overall composition of the image.
Enjoy and happy photographing
It is Christmas time and families in the Christian part of the world buy or create presents and decorate them and their homes for the Holidays. This creates a great opportunity to photograph decorations.
I photographed this bag full of goodies. The two vases serve as part of the composition.
Enjoy and happy photographing!
