Project 52: Week 2--Shades of Grey

I had several ideas for this project--this one, more industrial with repeating pipes.  I also had envisioned melting some grey wax on top of an overturned wine glass, expecting it to look all swirly and shiny with a black background--but I would have needed some more training on inside photography.  There was a recent free training on CreativeLIVE that was titled "Tabletop Photography." It would have been perfect.  It is free if you view it live but you have to pay for the archives.  I would have had to not do school for Jacob 3 mornings in a row to get it for free :)  Anyway, one last idea that I wish I could have done is a cool, old truck..fender with some nice, fat, chrome exhaust pipe early in the morning with smoke rising and condensation dripping.  This is what I have for now, though-- I learned how to do some more black and white editing and how to export with my watermark.  I can feel growth in getting the shots in camera, learning to use the histogram on a regular basis and points of composition coming to mind more readily and naturally.  Here it is:
