Sunfish Photography {blog}: {Black} | Henderson Photographer

I am very excited to have joined a blog circle!

This is my first post with the group.

We are given a theme each week and shoot photos based on the theme.

(Or at least that is what I will be doing.)

I look forward to pushing myself creatively as well as practicing my photographic skills.

I can't wait to see what the other talented photographers in this group share each week as well!

I'm sure it will be inspiring!

This week the theme is {black}.

Black is one of my favorite colors.

Halloween is my favorite holiday.

I decided to work on some product photography skills and shot a bunch of black Halloween objects on a white background in natural window light.

These photos have been edited slightly for exposure and white balance and some cropping, but no photoshopping occurred so please excuse any lint or kitty hair!

This first one was shot on my table, where I have shot other products (for my Etsy site) in the past. I love my table but the background isn't pure or solid white.

I then decided to put a poster board in one of the chairs and like the look of these next shots so much better!

But, there's definitely room for improvement in getting my white balance correct. The one above is definitely on the cool side, now that I see it here with a white background. Eek!
