CLEARER REFLECTIONS: Simplicity
http://www.clearerreflections.com/2015/03/simplicity.html
March 23, 2015. David Hayes, 2015. Last week's Be Still 52 lesson asked us to pick a simple subject.like a spoon.and explore lighting "around the clock" which is to say taking a look at all angles of your subject: back lighting, front lighting, side lighting, and all the angles in between. Moving away from light bulbs and ice cubes, I decided to use a sumi brush and ink bowl as my subject. In this first image, Moment. David Hayes, 2015. I used a similar workflow when creating Sumi.

March 4, 2015. David Hayes, 2015. David Hayes, 2015. In this version I opened the image in Photoshop and applied the Simple Set #1 texture which was also supplied by Kim for this lesson. I like how it darkens the image just a tad, bringing out the shadows a bit more. David Hayes, 2015. Labels: Be Still 52. Amy of four corners design. You are really embraced this course!

March 3, 2015. David Hayes, 2015. David Hayes, 2015. In my second version, I opened the first version in Photoshop and layered a texture that Kim Klassen had provided called Simple Set #1.

April 10, 2015. David Hayes, 2015. Yeah right. On the other hand.why not! After looking at some of the earlier postings I realized I was up against some of the still life greats of Instagram.

CLEARER REFLECTIONS: Pictures in Pictures
http://www.clearerreflections.com/2015/03/pictures-in-pictures.html
March 30, 2015. David Hayes, 2015. Week 11 of Be Still 52 asked us to us prints of our images as part of the overall composition in a new image. I can't say I was particularly inspired by this prompt.so I took a traditional approach to my set-up. Ice on Ice. Shot with my DSLR and processed in Lightroom, use 4 prints from my ice.cubed. Series and a small vase holding two jumbo ice cubes. David Hayes, 2015. Same approach with Light on Light. Labels: Be Still 52. March 30, 2015 at 5:29 PM.

http://www.clearerreflections.com/2015/03/three-up.html
March 9, 2015. David Hayes, 2015. Backlighting was the gist of Week 8, Be Still 52. So.the prompt was to give it a try using various settings on our cameras.playing with the light if you would. We were also asked to try out a couple of new LR presets that Kim also provided. This first version was shot with my DSLR and processed in LR for the basics. No presets applied. David Hayes, 2015. David Hayes, 2015. While I like all three it's Version 1 that gets my vote at the moment! View my complete profile.

CLEARER REFLECTIONS: Ponytail
http://www.clearerreflections.com/2015/04/ponytail.html
April 29, 2015. David Hayes, 2015. I have this love-hate relationship with houseplants. I go through "phases" when I can't get enough of them.particularly the more unusual ones.and then we end up with a house full. Then.I want to get rid of them. Usually when they've reached an almost unmanageable size. David Hayes, 2015. It's a nice size now.hopefully it will get bigger. Much bigger! Don't know where I'll put it if it does. Cross that bridge when I come to it. Labels: Be Still 52. All images, text, and ...
