OK, I gotcha. The same reason I have avoided cold weather by surfing my ancient archives for a couple of posts, giving me some exercise in using some of my new tools.

Keep looking for opportunities. :-)

Thanks!! Careful, though, now you may see more glass and brass. ;-)

I can't figure out the purpose of the last one. :-\

To get your attention?

To make you appreciate the first three more?

It's raining torrentially outside; I'm working to find anything photogenic from one vantage point (i.e. feeling lazy), and have already shot the clean flatware and some more glassware. :-)

There are two photographers running around in my head. One is Moose, the other Alt.Moose. This other guy likes to see form, color, texture, largely separate from clear identity, purpose, etc. He likes fuzzy stuff. He did my last book "Dissolution of Form", the positive reaction to which surprised both of us. He's not wild about the bright, edgy bokeh in this one; just packed a soft focus filter to fit that lens into the bag. :-)

M saw the strings of light bulbs against blue sky, and took a sharp, clear, huge DoF focus stack image of them. A.M saw them reflected in little puddles on a rainy day, isolated, floating in undefined mistiness, one pair possibly canoodling, (further up the page).

A.M. collects quotes like these:

"You just want to try a bunch of stuff, because you don't know what's going to be great."
    - Ira Glass

“There is no story. It's just a question of shapes and light”
    – Harry Gruyaert (photographer, who makes money at it.Google him.)

Also, neither of us is ashamed by PS tricks. The brass image had a lower left corner of boring counter, so the holy metal was extended. In the dish cloth image, a useless and distracting bottle disappeared from the upper right, a tag from the yellow cloth, and the blue cloth became a purer, brighter blue. What you see is what I noticed/saw that led me to take the shot, but not exactly what the less imaginative camera captured. :-D
