Bar of soap on the windowsill in the bathroom, by the muted sunlight coming in the window. (Same as with the previous post.) For these, however, I played around with setting the white balance for fluourescent, which created a bit more blue tint to the colors.

While I was on Hollywood Blvd. taking the shots of the Oscar setup I also took a moment to capture a few images of the permanent fixtures around the Kodak Theater. Namely, the relief dragon sculpture at Grauman's Chinese, and the tower marquee of the El Capitan Theater (with the sun poking over the roof of the building used by the Jimmy Kimmel show).
I'll admit up front: There's not much in the way of fabulous photography, but there are pictures of the statues still wrapped in plastic, reporters... uh, reporting, the clear tent over the street, the opaque tent with the big "The Academy Awards" text that you'll see in every aerial shot during the hours leading up to the broadcast, and of course: Porta-Potties.
Over a garage of an apartment building down the street is this rock sculpture on the wall with a single bulb, which casts interesting shafts of light at night.
Flowers and leaves in morning sunlight. (You'd never know this was mere feet from the busy boulevard called La Brea in Hollywood.)
A leftover waffle proved a worthy subject for photography.
After breakfast one Sunday morning, I didn't throw out this leftover waffle; I turned it into a model. Lighting provided by sunlight coming in through slots in the kitchen blinds. (For color shots from this, see this post.)
