[QUOTE="Dangerspouse, post: 777881, member: 46690"] This week's challenge was "Make a crummy thing look good", or words to that effect. Took me a while to come up with something, mostly because I was kicking around so many ideas. Lump of dirt in a light tent, with dramatic side lighting? A toothpick on a pedestal, with little dolls looking up at it admiringly? A Q-tip held in my wife's teeth, like a flamenco dancer with a rose? In the end, I decided on making a trash bag look like couture. My wife, who is a great sport, was all for it - as long as I let her fashion the bag into a dress. She did a great job, cutting part of the red draw ribbon and attaching it to another end to look like a bow. Then sat her in front of her vanity and took some shots, and a few standing as well. Had natural light on this one, but ended up having to add an overhead halo light because the windows were set low enough that she was just getting side light and it didn't look good. The first one was my challenge entry.
