Macarons and Sugar Sprinkles

Macarons and Sugar Sprinkles
A bit of tabletop photography in the warm yestertday. As always, a bit of card as a background, the "plate" is a slice of wood and the macarons were shop bought, as were the sugar sprinkles. Natural light from the window, with a bit of help from an LED panel. I used a tripod as well.

ROL/Photo, trester88, John FitzGerald, Eunice Perkins and 22 other people have particularly liked this photo

I think the idea of using a slice of wood as a plate is really good. I've never tried macaroons and with them being in different colours like this, do look interesting.

You have arranged this one beautifully Keith. I always enjoy your notes explaining your table top photography. Personally I think macarons are over priced and overrated but they sure do make a pretty picture :-))

Keep warm, brrrrr....and have a nice day.

Keith Burton club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Thank you very much Rosa.........I'm pleased you enjoyed both the photo and the notes.

I share your thought about macrons.........we ate a couple each, but weren't that impressed. Mind you, they were only cheap ones from Aldi, bought especially for the photo.

A lot of imagination as well as a lot of work and even cash put into this super table-top shot Keith. You really are a master of this art. Very well done.

Best Wishes. Herb

Keith Burton club has replied to Herb Riddle club
Cheers Herb............lovely comments as always. I bought a cheap box of macrons in Aldi and the sprinkles were in our cupboard. The wooden "plate" came from Hobbycraft, just a couple of quid in the sale (and I can use it again for something else).

Another wonderful table-top shot, Keith, your placement is perfect, I would have started the green one on opposite sides, but it's easy to see by your composition that would have been a big mistake, A terrific still life !!!!
