Thursday, April 21, 2022 - Luv2shoot - 04-21-2022
Hello there.
A warm welcome to Thursday's thread.
How's the weather out there. We are finally going to get some warm temps, actually hot temps (80's) on Saturday and Sunday. My magnolia tree should be in full bloom by then.
The special assignment for tonight's camera club meeting was Wine Glasses. I did a light painting for that. Here is the final version after selecting 8 photos from the shoot and layering them using selected parts from each. Including these specific areas:
- The wine glass
- The area of the scarf on the right and center
- The fringe of the scarf on the bottom
- The area of the scar on the left
- The background
- The label on the wine bottle
- The right side of the bottle
- The left side of the bottle

Morning Lorell,
FYI
Lensbaby also makes a Petzval lens named Twist 60.
Lorell, your image had not loaded when I posted. Your image creates a dark moody atmosphere. Perfect for a wine advert.

WOW Lorell - a lot of work went into creating that fine still life. Very nice.
Weather here in SoCal will be pleasant - probably clear skies for most of the day and temps reaching about 70 F (21 C).
Hi Grant.
A flower spotted on one of yesterday's walks...

Thanks for the daily start, Lorell! I accidentally posted to yesterdays thread this morning (duh).
Nice layering work! I like the light hitting the scarf! Very nice composition too!
How was that wine, by the way?
Hi Grant!
Dave thats a nice color on that rose, the light on the central flower is very pretty.
Good composition!
Its partly sunny here (some clouds) currently 66º and should top out around 77.
Its been breezy here too.
I'm going to dig back to 2007 (for lack of anything interesting to post)
Tire store fire. I submitted a few of these and the local paper used them in their story.
It was arson.

Good morning all,
Lovely light painting, Lorell. the colors blend so well. Like a nice Meritage.
Dave, I was about to mention the bright rose center until I read Patty's post. Right on!
Those tire store fires are the worst.
Hi, Grant.
It's a cool 46 degrees here with light winds and rain. The weekend looks like drier with 60 degree days. I just got in from the greenhouse. I transplanted some young tomato seedlings into pint pots. On my way to deliver some plants to other growers. Come on, sun!
RE: Thursday, April 21, 2022 - Dave - 04-21-2022
Thanks damar & Quint. I agree with you that the bright center of the dark flower is the best part of the photo. BTW, the light flower facing sideways is a rose but the dark one isn't, and I don't know what it is.
damar, that's a very fine photo at the tire store fire. Can you show us some of the rest?

I can gather your confusion, Dave.
I believe the flower picture is of a rose. I'm struggling with the correct wording but there are single and double etc., rose flower descriptions. This one appears to be a partway between single and double and cannot fully make up it's mind until it gets closer to full maturity as a flower. It is a lovely coloour.

Lorell, I love painting-with-light images. They have such a special quality you don't get any other way. Nice selection. Good job!
Love your roses, Dave, especially the one facing the camera. Roses are grafted a lot of times.....but sometimes suckers come from below the graft, and those will bloom from the hardy stock they used for the roots of a grafted rose bush....your dark roses look like those from the rootstock. Definitely roses, as Peter suggested also.
Hi! Peter!!
Hi! Grant!
Patty, what a great shot of a terrible situation! Such detail! I'd like to see more from this shoot. No wonder the paper used your images!!
Upper 60's here for a couple days but in the 80's on Sunday....We go from running the heat at night to running the AC during the day! ( My daughter's German Shepherd is a long haired one....really long hair, like 4 inches...she gets very hot when the temps go over 70°) Rain coming on Tuesday.
Went and borrowed a trailer and rounded up a couple tall ladders.....going tomorrow to take down a small greenhouse my daughter got....it's a former carport frame....rounded up a couple of people to help as my daughter and I cannot do it all....wish us luck.....already brought home the 3 raised bed frames, 16' x 4' x 16" tall .
