The sun came out for awhile last weekend, but it was still cold as I ventured out to my studio (AKA garage) for a photo session. I opened the garage door for natural light, set what was left of my latest Trader Joe’s bouquet on some bead board, and had fun with my Edge 80 for as long as I could stand the cold. I tilted the lens down and to the left, focusing on the scissors for this shot. I liked the result and added texture to the image for Texture Tuesday.
And here is the same photo with a black and white conversion.
Happy Tuesday!

These look like those Japanese scissors? I have some from Niwaki? They are very good! Jane
I see I need to pull out the Edge 80 and play, love the focus Melinda
It looks like you’re really getting the hang of that lens, baby! Nice job. I love them both although the second probably gives more of a feeling of the cold!
Love your still life especially the black and white so soft…
Both are so pretty, hard to choose which I like better. And do you know what? I don’t have to. Why not enjoy them both?
I love the depth of field. Both are beautiful…
I am glad I found your blog..Beautiful pics..I am saving up for a Lens Baby the composer..It has been cold and gray here..I bought myself cut flowers last week to shoot with and have been using my patio as a work station, weather permitting, lol 🙂
Both images are beautiful! Lovely color in the first and wonderful drama in the B&W image.
Very beautiful! I love using the Edge 80 and need to get it out more again!
Thank you for sharing your image. I had forgotten that I have an older lens baby…now where did I place it! Ahhh too many choices. But you made a great one.
