July 15, 2014 – iPhone Challenge – Simple Things

07.15.14 iPhone Challege-The Lamp

Sometimes the simplest things make for a good picture.

Today I captured this shot of a hanging lamp during the West Kentucky Photography Club’s weekly Tuesday lunch.

As we sat there eating I noticed the hanging lamps over each table and booth and decided that with the right background and placement that it could make an effective photo for today’s iPhone Challenge picture.

This was over the booth next to us and I closed the blinds to help make the lamp stand out better and also shut down on the glare from the outside. I also tried to keep the lamp positioned between the vertical slats to make the image more graphic and interesting.

Always keep your eyes open for the commonplace things around you as sometimes they can make the best pictures!

Photo was shot with Hipstamatic on the iPhone 5s using the Helga Viking Lens and Pistil Film setting.
