Pinecone

I loved the way that the sun was hitting this fallen pinecone, really highlighting the texture.

Grandson had a fixation with burning pinecones.

found another version of the stick/tree

Pinecone juggling. I think they look very surrealistic hanging in midair like this.

I liked this pinecone. Then I realized I needed a product shot and was going to go with orange..but then I realized THE INTERPRETATION IS UP TO ME RIGHT? BEHOLD. PINECONE. _PRODUCT_ OF PINE TREE. I really tried to get the light in between all of it's. ..shingles? Leaves? Florets? ---All of it's nooks. Set the pinecone on a glasses cleaning cloth to try to reduce reflection from the chair. I like this photo because it's a pinecone and I really like them, however, I could have tried to get more light into it's little crannies. Next time I will do a better job of this!

This made it into the final portfolio because 1. I love pinecones and 2. I think I did a pretty good job!

A baby pinecone! Isn't it the most adorable thing? :)

Window light in my living room.

yaay

Used the macro mode on this one; I liked how the background was blurred. I've been working on my depth of field shots, and like how this one came out!

video shows the making of what I am calling the pinecone window. A small window going into a private home. The video shows the window going from full size cartoon drawing to completed window.

The woods have many varieties of trees including firs.
