Party time

We got an invitation to a Christmas party last night and of course I was more excited about the fact that it would be a good prop for photographing! Once I took it out of the envelope in opened out to silhouettes of a ballerina, a singer, a rap dancer and a waltzing couple, all so pretty and perfect for black and white.  Do you get excited when you can see a picture potential in things?

  4. Beautiful photo! Such a creative invitation.

    And, yes, I'm the same way - I find myself buying little things, like old fashioned lollipops, to photograph. :-)

  5. What a fun and creative image! I'm thinking photography addiction!!! Most people see something out of the ordinary and think "I probably should find my camera and take a picture of that." A photo addict spends her day with a camera around her neck thinking "No what can I take a picture of that I already haven't done at lest a hundred other times from all angles!" I've just described myself. It might sound familiar. Well, I'm off to find this morning's photo op. HaHa

  6. What a fun and creative image. This sounds like a serious photography addiction to me! I know the signs. Most people see something out of the ordinary and think, "I probably should find my camera and take a picture of that", while a photo addict, who has her camera hanging around her neck at all times, thinks, "Now what can I take a picture of that I haven't already taken at least 10 times from 10 different angles!" I've just described myself!!! Oh well, time to go find my photo op for this morning. HaHa

  7. I must admit, I do think the same way. We take a camping trip about once month. I always took lots of photos. But know with a different camera I see it in a whole new light.. I really get so excited..

    I Like your B&W shot..

    Hugs, Linda

  8. I love the way you captured this! Very lovely b&w. Sigh, I used to get excited about picture potential, but not since we landed with the new budget camera for the household (but I know it's the USER, not the camera! :))

  16. Oh my goodness !! What a fantastic invitation, BUT ' it's what you have done with it' that is truly AMAZING. I would not have even known what angle to hold my camera on to photograph something like this... the way the light falls on the thin edge of the card, the different shades of white to black, it's just beautiful. There was an Australian movie made called The Castle, don't know if you ever saw it while living out here, but a very famous and now common line came out of that movie; only Ausies. usually 'get' these silly classic lines, but in the movie at dinner time the wife always makes some really basic dish like chops with mashed potato, or ice-cream with topping, and the husband always loves it and says to his wife "what do you call this darl", and the wife says oh it's just chops and mash, and then the classic reply is "yeah, but it's what you do with it". So, to finish a very long comment..... it's what YOU do with your simple subject that makes them very special... I know, I rave on a bit. Cheers.

  20. These are beautifully lit. I agree about seeing the potential in things. Sometimes I just think of things and can see the image they would make but most don't turn out quite that way :-) Yet!!
