The current photo assignment for my team is to photograph a single sheet of paper. For me, this is a repeat of an assignment I did several years ago, but it was worth repeating. In fact, It is an exercise that I'd highly recommend to anyone wanting to improve their photography.

A sheet of paper really isn't that exciting of a a subject so it really becomes about shape, texture, light, and shadow. #1561459

And then, I added color. . . #10959349

Very good thought, Jeff. We've seen this before as you mentioned. Would posting your prior effort be instructive for comparing previous skill sets/technology capabilities? #10959467

Thanks, everyone.

Rita - I used gels on the flashes to add the color. Oh, I guess I should say that I used two EX600-RTs to light these.

Stephen - Here's the previous images. #10959482

I think this post shows a bit more sophisticated lightning and post processing than earlier versions. #10959992

The colored version certainly has appeal but the B&W raises the image to a higher level of fine-art. I like everything about it Jeff. #10960400

I like them all, Jeff, but I'm partial to the color one! Super stuff! #10960439

Beth Spencer January 30, 2014

The light on these are amazing and I love the shapes and textures. These are really fun to look at! I like the color ones especially! #10960609
