Ok, this isn’t the shot I really wanted. I had these boots in mind, but I had a very different setting for them planned. Unfortunately, this particular week was amazingly hectic and I never got to the camera in time to setup the outside shot I wanted. I’ll admit, I phoned this one in, but I will make up for it in the coming weeks! These are some hand-me-down workboots from my stepdad that have lasted me several years! They’ve kept my feet warm and safe through a lot of wood cutting, snow shoveling, and they’ve logged a lot of miles up and down various rally stages. They’ll log a few more miles next month as I head back to the 100 Acre Wood Rally in Salem, MO.

I tried to think of what new ways I could look at a fork. I was left pretty uninspired until I saw the cup of plastic utensils still left out from our New Year’s Eve party. There was a candle burning on the other side of the cup and seeing the light flickering through the clear plastic gave me an idea. I positioned the cups of forks, spoons, and knives directly under the main overhead light on our main workspace in our kitchen and placed a speedflash with an amber filter behind and to the right. This is what came out.

SooC = Straight out of Camera. This is a once-per-week project that follows a different theme each week. All images here are unaltered and exactly as captured in camera. No post-processing is performed. Every week, I will post a photo and discuss my thoughts on its composition and the way I planned the lighting and exposure. Be warned that some weeks, photos will be composed and taken completely unencumbered by the thought process.
