Still Life/Tabletop Photography

Saved from my garden after it was broken down by heavy rain two or three days ago and photographed indoors.

This lovely magnolia flower came from my neighbours garden. I took it indoors to photograph and, as you can see, I removed a few petals to expose the heart of the flower. The lighting came from a hand held LED panel. There is an image of the whole flower in the PiP if you are interested.

A very simple still-life image of this lovely little cup and saucer set, which I purchased in a local charity shop. All is not as it seems though............the cup and saucer are actually glued together. You can then tie a length of string through the handle, put some bird seed in the cup and saucer and hang it in a tree. Now I've taken the photo, I'll be doing exactly that!

Another raid on my wife's sewing equipment..!! I bought her this sewing machine when we lived in Malta..........as a present for our first wedding anniversary. We will have been married for 52 years next month..........and she still loves it (and me hopefully)! The patterns in this image are from the same period. She used to make clothes for herself and our two daughters when they were young. Nowadays it's kept mainly for making repairs!

A bit cliché I know, but any excuse to buy chocolate..!! Wishing all my Ipernity friends a happy easter weekend! .............and before you ask, it's all been eaten (I did share with my wife though) :-)))

I found these on the ground during a recent woodland walk and took them home to photograph them.

With ice cream............delicious..!! I hope you like this one 'cos there won't be a re-shoot :-))
