Description
The February Forum Challenge is all about lighting. People are coming up with the most wonderful things ... go look, and see if you feel inspired!
Anyone who knows me or has seen my photography knows what a fiend I am about light, so you just know I'm having WAY too much fun with this month's challenge! You can only post three images to each challenge topic, so I'm pacing myself back there, but I can still post all the neato light shots I want to out here in my gallery! :)
I've been shooting this lamp off and on for months, but have never gotten quite what I wanted. Last night I was working with different lighting setups, and finally got something I liked.
In color, this shot was a little too yellow for my tastes. It's got an incandescent light bulb, so it's hard to get away from that golden glow. The base of the lamp is sort of coppery-gold and white, so really ... color didn't add a thing to this image. (Even Marilyn liked it in b&w, which is totally amazing!)
The lamp belonged to my grandmother, and it was always my favorite. I'm so pleased to have it in my home!

Very nice! I think I'll try an entry!
Nice capture...
lovely and special my friend!
What a grand old lamp. Is this 1950s modern? I don't know if there is any such category:) B&W certainly allows me to look at the design of the lamp itself and of course the light pattern goes with the territory very nicely.
A crisp and detailed image...the shade could pass for an upside down layer cake..
OH, I just LOVE this lamp--and I even love the (gasp!) black and white; it's perfect!!
A cool light and lamp photo idea. Dark and luminous.
Waow!! wonderful efect.
what a wonderful feel on this picture.. Well done.
wonderful object - great photo!
Wonderful to see this , Tara, and a superb shot, of course! Can you remember the name of that material it's made of...it is something 'olene'. I have several shades my Ma made with that stuff still in use, but the name evades me.
