I admit I almost chickened out and skipped this challenge fearing I wouldn't have time or creativity to do it, but luckily I have a loving husband who gives me a good kick in the rear when I get overly dramatic.October's styling challenge was titled "Morning." A wonderful theme, because despite common sentiment I think there are so many lovely things associated with the morning. Morning is the best time of day. It is so fresh, clean, new and brings a day full of possibilities. And what better to display the newness and freshness of the day than a spot of fresh tea? I first thought I would take a picture of coffee, because it is so very delicious but coffee to me gives me a feeling of coffee breath and the morning jitters rather than the freshness and cleanness of the morning. So in the spirit of the freshness of the morning, I chose to depict morning by brewing a cup of green tea and going outside to play with my camera.Here is what came out of it. I really wish that I could use my handy photoshop for this challenge to put some delicious contrast and color balancing into these photographs, but alas our rules say that we can't, but not to worry. Next time I think that I'll break out my flash and see if I can get the contrast I crave without Photoshop. Be sure to check out the other Morning photographs by clicking the links below. And please comment a lot on our photos and give us hints on how we could have done better, because what is a challenge unless you learn and grow?
