May Photo challenge – May 01

I would have thought I’d get stuck into my little project early on the first day. Unfortunately, I didn’t quite plan things out as well as I’d have liked so was left searching for a subjects to photograph in the relatively dim inside light. I took a number of photos of various objects on and around my desk but none showed any promise. I was beginning to think I’d have failed my challenge from day one when my eyes were attracted to a carrying case for a boules set in the games room. Inside were six shiny orbs that provided a bit of potential this time.

I started out with just a trio to see what would happen and adjusted as I went along.

Considering how rarely this set has been used, I am amazed to see how scratched they are. I guess that’s what happens when you get the cheapest set available.

Although it’s not obvious here, I did use the full set

I discovered a color tool somewhere within Photoshop Elements and had a play. I was rather pleased when I happened upon my favorite color.

While these worked well enough for me in desperation, I’d like to revisit them some time during daylight hours and see what I can do with better light and additional color.
