Life is whizzing by, and here it is photo challenge weekend already! I'm dipping into my archives again for some still life shots.
Last December, this lovely white pitcher distracted me from getting my holiday decorating done. The sun streaming in the window was creating some great shadows that I hoped to capture.
Blue Mason jars are among my favorite things.
I find them very photogenic.
Eggs are photogenic, too!
Thanks for taking a look at my foray into still life photography.

Thanks, Donna, for hosting each month!
Wow wow wow! Very we'll done. I worked for Ball Corp for 20 years so have a real soft spot for the jars. These are perfect still life photos.
ReplyDeleteGood job.I love the pictures of the pitcher. I like the idea of taking multiple pictures of one subject. It looks so different from different angles. I also like how you went from the plain white eggs, to eggs of many colors. I have the same spoons too!
ReplyDeleteThese are all beautiful. Natural light creating works of art...then fun to see the bright one at the end! :)
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you had to stop what you were doing and capture the sunshine and shadowplay on your pitcher...love it.
I love the fact that the light and shadows on the white jug caught your attention for it has provided some awesome still life captures.
ReplyDeleteLove Love these pics! I love ironstone anything and your little pitcher is sweet in black and white showing off it's smooth lines. The mason jars and the eggs in a bowl are wonderful and I love the coloured one of the eggs. Beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteSo very beautiful! Love each one. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are all so great. The black and white really give an artsy look to your photos. The eggs in a bowl are very sculptural. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYou clearly know how to excel with this assignment! I remember the light and shadow play photos of that beautiful pitcher. Be still me heart, I am in love with that fourth photo! It is worthy of an enlargement and frame. I can even see a hint of reflection in the surface - a window covered in lace. Simplicity at its best! The bowl of eggs follow along the same vein. The colorful photos are lovely too, but the black and white ones are just delightful.
ReplyDeleteExcellent pictures! Great lighting. Still, I like the last one best (I just like bright colours)". And I love your header photo best of all!
ReplyDeleteSimplicity at it's finest! Outstanding still life photos, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteOh I love the monochrome and then the view of the ball jars was fabulous so when I hit the egg decorating I was in awe...wonderful shots!
