The Pitcher of Lavender


Once again I was desperate for a photograph for the blog today.  This pitcher with Lavender has been sitting on a table in the back room, and I have thought several times of photographing it.  So tonight  I NEEDED to photograph it.  So I set up a light in order to have control of how the subject would look under different lighting.  I used a direct spotlight which leaves sharp shadows for the first three images.  The last image was lit with the light bounced into a white umbrella, which gives a much softer illumination.  So it is voting time again - which is your favorite?

I like the first one with the mirror image on the wall. All are beautiful because of the simplicity.

LOVE...the 4th one! All are beautiful but the last one is my personal favorite.

Thank you both for your comments. It was really fun to try lighting this several different ways. I think my favorite is the last one, but I think that it feels more ordinary, or maybe just more subtle.
