Tennis Ball




I don't even know what to say about this photo... It's a tennis ball! I was looking for something to shoot tonight, and I found this... still in the can... still fresh and new... and just sat on the floor and got this photo of it.


While I was working on it, I became a bit spell bound by the lighting that I saw on it... It's not really that complicated, or anything special... just the lighting from the room... but it worked here. I imagined lighting things, much like I do now at work, and thought about how much time I could spend just looking at this ball and trying to find the best lighting I could for it. That's where my brain is right now, I guess...

It also struck me in the moment, just after the lighting thoughts, that I had just analyzed this ball in that way, that I was looking around at things in a different way, trying to look past just their shapes, and into their forms...

It's a tennis ball!

more later...

oh my gosh that comment is the worlds most classic comment ever left on anyones page. I think I might have peed my pants a little. You have got to admit it's hard to not love her. Wow, thats great. I'll have to thank her for the laugh cause that does not happen very often that she gets that crunked.
Other then that I really like that picture you have an amazing talent and I'm taking photo classes as well. You have been an inspiration to look out side of the box for pictures not to just take typical ones. I'll have to share some of them with you as I progress.
Lot's o-love
