my new old window :)

i had a chance to go to a couple of salvage stores over the weekend and found an old window for $5.  that $5 bought me a whole lot of fun on sunday with my camera.  i should have been cleaning or exercising or something like that, but instead i played for hours.  i experimented with camera settings and photoshop and textures and next thing i knew, superbowl was over and it was almost monday :)   

besides the 'almost monday' part, it was a perfect day...

enhanced with kim klassen's revolution texture

  1. This is beautiful! Sounds like a very fun way to play! That's pretty much the story of my life. There's just so much to learn about photography and photoshop that I end up spending more time on it than I'm expecting and then I have to rush to try to get the other things done!

  2. Ohhh how beautiful! I too just love the cobalt blue bottles and have quite the collection too! It's gorgeous with the plant. You could just frame this and put it on the wall! I had to laugh about Super Bowl being over before you knew it lol

  3. I love blue bottles. What a lucky find for you - a windows for 5 bucks! Given the choice between exercising and playing with the camera, I'd choose the camera any day!

  5. What a great post! You sound like me. That's a great way to spend a day. I have been wanting to get an old window-someday I'll find one. I love your bottles! The colors are gorgeous. The subtleness of the green in the plant really helps to bring everything together. It's a beautiful shot.

  6. Beautiful still life composition. The blue in the bottles is striking and the maidenhair fern gives a softness to the picture.
