I was just bored today while cleaning out my drawers, when I come across an interesting tiny glass bottle that I received as a new years gift. It was covered in stickers, filled with beads, with a little tag and a note inside filled with random thoughts that the person decided to write down at the moment. I then thought that it would be great to photograph and quickly removed the pink turtle stickers and tag. I then proceeded to remove the note and positioned it on my windowsill. I took a few pictures using a flashlight with a random piece of paper I used as a diffuser as well as the natural ambient light that was coming through the window. The photos looked great but something was missing. With a stroke of creativity, I tore a piece of paper off of my makeshift diffuser and wrote the word "lost" on it. I carefully placed the piece of paper in the glass container with precision. I took a few more pictures but the magenta nature of the tiny beads offset the meaning that I was trying to portray. I then switch my t2i's color setting and got the perfect picture.
