Day 347 Pine Cone

Pine Cone


I think this $10 investment in photography may be my best deal to date. It opens up all sorts of really amazing, unique and creative photography opportunities. I had a very hard time getting this photograph to work because the lights were all so close and bright that it was bouncing off the table and into the lens and causing a huge amount of flair. I managed to reduce the flair to an acceptable level by laying the pine cone on a black piece of paper. I played around with all sorts of light angles and like this one best because most of the light is only on the very tip of the pine cone thingys? which makes them stand out and adds depth.
