more hollywood, imperial newt, and nasty pear

all of these photos were taken in natural light. except for the pear, which was taken inside on a tabletop, they were taken on the top floor of my apartment parking garage. the top left shows a general view. the lower left one is a tag that someone etched onto a glass window in my apartment building. i liked the way the warm light contrasted with the deep blue sky behind, and the way the tag is illuminated by the light behind it. the pear was one that i forgot to eat, i snapped a photo before throwing it away. and the newt in the upper right is part of a series by jim woodring called imperial newts. he also has a crazy newts series, i really like both sets and will continue to photograph our collection.

Your work with natural light is inspiring!

The lighting in the Hollywood shot is very nice with the sun and artificial lights at the same time. Also the DOF on 3 of your photos is very controlled. I like the old pear. I have a potato I'm aging for photo reference as I type (3 months and wrinkly). The imperial newt almost looks animated. Your husband gifted you one nice camera. You have an even better eye!
