These are some white petals I dropped in front of a black background. I painted the background using a photo program to make it a deep, even black, and upped the brightness so the petals were a pure almost glowing white. It took more than a few tries to get this shot, and I’m still not satisfied with it. If I had more time/patience I could have dried out the petals more so they fell better, but oh well.

How I did it: I joined a photo site called Pixoto which is an online photo contest site that has a new competition each week with daily, weekly, and monthly awards. Not to sound like I'm pitching the site or anything, but it's easy to join and pushes you to be creative. You also get to see other (both professional and amateur) people's pics (not to mention compete against them) which can inspire you to try things you hadn't thought of. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I moved the shelves for my DVD's, and made some room in my living room for it. Then I dragged the thing out and put it where the shelves use to be. Now I just have to fill it up with stuff to clean some of the clutter up that I made by emptying it. Read how I did it…

A raven was hanging around today and let me take over a hundred pics of him using a 75-300mm lens. Despite the zoom lens the pic still needed a little cropping to get in this close. However, other than that I didn’t manipulate the image at all.
