Calling on creativity

The house is cleaned, the dog is walked and supper has been made. Eric is off writing a final so the dual monitors are mine to play with! As part of my challenge to myself to grow myself, myself took some more photos playing with some of the tips provided by another self. It has been lots of fun and I find it very satisfying to capture a small part of the beauty present in this life.

 As to be expected, many of the images taken do not make the cut, but the following candle pictures turned out all right I think.

Looking at the photo now, it bothers me the candle is not centred in the dish. Also, if you look really close, you can just make out a cat hair on the very top of the candle. Oh the joys of living with kitties!

The actual candle is a creamy white, even though in this picture it looks orange. However, with the flame providing back light, the wax does take on a warmer hue.

Ok, so this has nothing to do with growing my photography skills. This was about playing with my photo editing software and showcasing just how CUTE my kitties can be ... when they aren't trying to kill each other.

I am heading into one evening and three night shifts - wish me luck! And please, would someone ask the Robin to be awake for me on the way home in the morning? His cheerful song is pleasing and hopeful.

Love the first candle photo! No matter where it is placed on the dish or the almost indistinguishable kitten hair! It is a warm and peaceful photo!

I see your four legged furry guys have their tails intertwined - they are definitely being best buds. No alpha males in these photos! Keep having fun with taking pics and editing!
