21 Oct an apple a day {294/365}

Inspiration.

Sometimes one thing sets you off.  One little idea or sighting or prompt, and you’re grabbing your camera.

And then sometimes it’s a combination of a whole lot of ideas and sightings and prompts, all jumbled up and tossed together, that give you your final works.

The leaf on this apple inspired me to add to my collection of fruity shots …

Katrina’s post today inspired the out-of-the-box crop (although she was talking about halloween shots, no matter) which I would never have thought of.   Sometimes, less of your subject is more. And doing that tied me into …

Vicki at Simply Hue, who had a (short-lived) theme up, challenging you to step outside of your comfort zone.  It stuck with me, even though she decided to change it up.  Square crops (and the afore mentioned out-of-the-box crop) are definitely out of my comfort zone.  I’ve no idea why – I love the look of them (when somebody else does it).

A few textures from Jerry’s square collection, blended and messed with, and there you have it.

Inspired :)

Here’s where I started (straight out of camera):

Thinking out of the box and getting out of my comfort zone?

I like it.

I’m going to do it more often, I think.
