Week Three
Cheryl has a guest leading our course this week. Barb Brookbanks has an amazing north facing window for her shots, her behind the scenes shot is lovely.
She has suggested we set up a still life with three items.
Here are some ideas I had.
I was drawn to these colours and liked the tall vase with the book and beads low in the picture.
My little scallop shells again, I really like them on the white plate
A Tibetan singing bowl with its box, mat and striker which I changed to black & white
And Poppyseed heads, focusing on the middle one, and then a Pixel Dust texture on them.
I am loving this class, I hope you can tell.
I like seeing all the pull back shots that show your set ups. I thought you would like to see mine.
I have a light tent but it is far too big to leave up all day so I had an idea to make something smaller. I bought two artists canvases about 18inches high and fixed them together with three small hinges. I can sit at the table and make my pictures while outside it rains all day every day at the moment. The table in the kitchen has been like this for a week! I love it.
Love the poppy seeds and the black and white still life! Great mini light-tent too- the photo of the elephant is great! I will have to try that for photographing my little creations!
These are all fantastic photos Miriam – but I’m really drawn to the black and white one – love the composition and the subtle framing.
Hmmm Miriam, I am trying so hard to choose a favorite here, and it’s a really tough thing to do. Nope, can’t do it. My favoriteS..the second one and the third one. Just love them!
What a lot of great ideas! I feel lucky when I’ve come up with one good one for the week. I can’t decide between the first two for a favorite. I love the colors in the first, and agree that the shells in the white dish are really lovely.
I really like the composition of the B&W shot, but I am most drawn to the poppy seed heads. Great idea with the canvases :o)
Oh yes, the fact that you’re loving this class definitely shows! These are all gorgeous, Miriam. I love the blues (my favourite colour); the black & white; and the red elephant (which, I confess, I didn’t realize was an elephant until I read Marsha’s comment!).
Thank you for showing your setup, too. I don’t have a lot of space, but I could certainly find room for something like that!
love your table and all the fascinating things on it. Great images, love the poppy heads and the elephant best
I really like the poppy seed heads.
Yes, it’s raining here again today. I’m finding it very hard to take pictures at the moment
My heart sang when I saw your Tibetan bowl photo – so beautiful … And your hinged canvas is so clever. I am tempted to make one of these just for photographing things for my blog!
I am SO waiting for the self-paced version of this course. I’ve tasked DH to build a PVC frame for me to drape the many tablecloths I have as backdrops for tabletop photography. Thanks (again) for turning me onto it.
Wow! These are all fantastic. I especially love the poppy heads and the singing bowl.
