Still Life/Tabletop Photography

For the Macro Dreams ✨ Challenges group: Clips, Multiple, Metal, Multicoloured.

Still on the tabletop...........another charity shop bottle and white card background, changed to this colour in post processing.

Raining and overcast yesterday...........so tabletop photography seemed the way to go. I bought a couple of these little blue vases in a charity shop and the flower came from a bunch given to my wife by her friend. The background was a piece of white card, which I changed to this colour in post processing.

Not made by me I hasten to add................ I bought some vintage sheet music on Ebay a while ago and the seller thoughtfully included this bookmark with it. I think it's lovely, so I thought I'd share of photo of it. Try viewing large for best detail.

The colour version of yesterdays black and white image!

Still plugging away with this tabletop photography, but I'm still not happy with my white backgrounds, so this has been converted to black and white leaving the background a little grey. I will get it right one day........but I'd be interested to know what you think. Better viewed large, I think. Thanks for looking.

From my garden.........photographed indoors in natural light. The background is a sheet of black card. Please view large on black if you have the time. Thanks for looking. Macro Dreams Challenges: Spring, Nature's Poetry, multiple.

A collage of some of my wife's colourful scarves. I hope you like it. Better viewed large on black.

We've had this set of cookie cutters for ages and I've at last got round to using them in a photo (which is really what I bought them for)!

My wife has loads of scarves.........this is part of one of them. Macro Dreams - Challenges: Blue Fibres, Lines, Stripes or Ridges, Multicoloured, Fibres.

Tabletop photography...........a while ago I bought some old sheet music on Ebay thinking I might use it for a photo sometime. Then my wife found some novelty paperclips in a charity shop and got them for me, also thinking I might use them for a photo sometime. I thought that I'd combine the two...........and this is the result!

Picked from my garden and photographed on the tabletop in natural light.

Tabletop photography - having a play with my macro lens and some Star Anise. Trying out the in-camera focus bracketing feature on my camera which combines multiple images taken at different focus distances to give a resulting image with a greater depth of field than any of the individual source images. I think I need a bit more practice yet........but I was reasonably happy with this one for a first attempt. (Also for the Macro Dreams "Challenges" group.........Multiple and Herbs and Spices)

Tabletop photography again. The are from a small patch growing in my garden..........I tried to photograph them outside but it was far too windy. I think they're lovely :-) The background is not as clean as I would have liked, but overall I'm happy with this. I really need to sort out some proper lighting. Thanks for looking.

Tabletop photography. The tulip is from a bunch of flowers that was bought for my wife. Best viewed large if you like. There's another in the PiP. Thanks for looking.
