Bar of Soap
I'm not really wild about the Winter light around here—lots of overcast grays. I used to joke that "there's nothing out there to see in the Winter," but people take it seriously and lecture me about it. It's just a joke, like the old line that, when you're photographing with a heavy view camera, there are no pictures more than thirty steps from the trunk of the car. (I first heard that attributed to Edward Weston, but who knows. Variations of it have been around forever and I've seen it attributed to many people.) Anyway, I've been taking random still lifes [sic] around the house as a way of unlimbering the camera and fiddling around with it.
I noticed the light on the soap and went and retrieved the camera and tripod. It was almost dark when I took this—note the shutter speed.
