Under my nose

When I started out on my PAD almost a year ago I would go to great lengths to get
an image and then think carefully about the words I would use to accompany it.
Of late, however, it's almost a case that any picture will do, once it's a picture
taken on the day it was posted. It's not all down to lack of inspiration as life
as a pet owning, working Mum often leaves little time for photography.
This wasn't a planned shot - I just noticed the evening sunlight shining on
this shopping bag and liked what I saw. At least it makes a change from
Toffee and Fudge.

Nikon D90
1/60s f/5.6 at 260.0mm iso800 full exif

A beautifully exposed and composed image. The lighting is really nice here. ~V~

Does that bag's contours look roughly the same as a Lab's face? Might be worth checking what or who is on the other side.
I know what you mean; PADing can really eat into your day. In some cases however it can cause you to shoot things that you may never have otherwise noticed, and this is an example. Not that this is a bad one because both the texture and colour are visually interesting and they work well against the plain back background. It all goes into the skills bank.

The lighting is superb Mairead! It brings out the beauty of the textural bag!

I really like this one. The texture and light are interesting and there is a nice warm tone. I'm glad you noticed this bag, right under your nose! V
