When we returned home, I began thinking of ideas of what to photograph. I wanted to attempt to photograph something that other people might not have, or see everyday. We have an old Iron that we use as a door stop. I think that somebody put a different handle on this one. I've never seen another quite like it.
Lessons Learned:
- I started by just photographing the iron on a wooden chest of drawers, then I moved to a larger wood surface because the chest of drawers wasn't large enough. I thought the plain wood was just to bland, so I took my shirt off, and used it as a surface. I think it was a better result. I'm still not quite sure I like the lighting. I may return to this subject the another day. I guess the lesson is, experiment and try a lot of different things when photographing stills.

I like this composition but I agree with you about it needing different lighting. It might be interesting with natural light coming from the side as through a window.
That is one unique iron! The handle gives it character!
I like the shadow, looks great.
The shadow was the first thing I noticed too. That's neat old iron.
I really like the shadow...the lighting is great with the wrinkles in your shirt.
I think it's OK here with light. Like that shadow. And a very good subject for photographs! Looks heavy! ))
I like it too Steve. You also happened to be wearing the shirt that matches the iron and creating the right mood. I also like how you gave the evolution of the shot.
I like the vividness of the tones - nice and sharp!
I like the shadow - it be interesting to see different variations of the same subject. I like the colors.
