Week One<\/strong><\/p>\n

I spent ages this afternoon setting up my light box and lights, it was dark outside by the time I finished!
\nI found this assignment really difficult to do. I don’t feel confident with setting up a still life to photograph and I didn’t like any of the backgrounds I chose. In the end instead of feeling inspired and frugal I felt tired and frustrated!
\nAny how as I want to learn here are my first attempts at still life.<\/p>\n

This is nearly<\/em> my original (and only) idea.
\n\"Chinese<\/a><\/p>\n

The Chinese fabric reminded me I had this Japanese patterned teapot and cups, they were my mothers.
\nI didn’t like any of the backgrounds I had so I made this one with a texture from Bonnie at Pixel Dust Photo Art.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Still<\/a><\/p>\n

As it was almost six o’clock I thought of this. The background is the black plastic fabric that came with the light box but I didn’t like it so I smudged it in Photoshop.
\n\"Tanquery<\/a><\/p>\n

I had cleared out the drawer with the tea towels in as suggested by Barbara in this post<\/a>.
\nI came across this little pile of clam shells.<\/p>\n

\"She<\/a><\/p>\n

I have a lot to learn!
\nSo to help with my education, if you don’t mind, which one do you like best?<\/p>\n

I’m off to link up and be inspired by others taking this class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
