when i saw the theme this week, thought - great, this will be a phone in because i have this beautiful orange hat (circa 1940's). so i paired it with my little brownie hawkeye and began to shoot.and delete.format.shoot. repeat as needed.
somehow this color is eluding me. it's either too bright, too harsh, too...something. but, i stuck with it. out of 50ish shots - i got one i didn't hate. reds and oranges are difficult to photograph for me. they tend to overpower my senses and blow out my sensors.
char...simply gorgeous..sigh, love vintage hats, do you wear it?
ReplyDeletethis is amazingly beautiful! i would SO buy it as a print and hang it in my bedroom. seriously. lol, awesome work!
ReplyDeleteGreat job......Love the hat!
ReplyDeleteOh, it's beautiful, Char, and I love the hat, too!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo and I like that the orange color is not overpowering. Lovely...
ReplyDeleteI love your hat, I'm a hat person and this one is adorable next to your box brownie. I think you have done a great job capturing the essence of the era it represents.
ReplyDeleteI think you did a fabulous job! Love this photo.
ReplyDeleteOh, that felt cloche is adorable! It would have been even better if you had been wearing it and taking a picture with your Brownie! I would love to see that.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful composition and lighting, Char.
The velvety orange texture lit by the softness of the diffused sunshine is a welcome warm & cozy feeling on my 48 degree misty rainy pacific northwest mountain morning.
ReplyDeletePerfect pairing of soft and hard edges, vibrant and monochromatic color.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, gorgeous, love the subjects, the beautiful hat and that fantastic camera!
ReplyDeletedefinitely worth all that effort. I tried with an orange bagbut, like you, couldn't get the right colour. nice combination.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! This would be beautiful printed out and framed. You got the perfect subtle orange and soft texture.
ReplyDeletei think this photo is pure perfection so i'm so glad you stuck in there and continued to shoot and repeat.
ReplyDeletei think the colors look amazing!
ReplyDeletelove this...the hat is just awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful still life...and I think you captured orange in a dreamy, nostalgic way...perfect!...Would love to see you in that hat holding that Brownie:)
