Chocolate mould

ah excellente idée originale

Merci beaucoup, Annaig!

Starkes Bild, Gudrun. Und ungewöhnlich im Gegenstand und Blick ! Sehr schön fürs Thema diese Woche !

Danke vielmals, Ui! Mein Draußen-Radius hat diese Woche irgendwie nicht so tollen Rost gebracht, also musste ich daheim suchen. War ein Stück Arbeit, das schwere Ding hervorzuholen;-)

How very interesting, Gudrun! I've never seen one like it. I love the row of alternate facing bunnies in the second PiP.

Thanks a lot, Amelia! It was a gift from my sister's mother-in-law who bought it on a flea market in Belgium or the Netherlands. I suspect it was used by a professional chocolatier in former times, the Belgian Neuhaus chocalatiers still sell easter eggs with such patterns.

Il sont très mignons ces moules judicieusement éclairés , mais la 1ere est top avec son bokeh

Merci beaucoup, Dan! I had a bit of fun trying different versions.

I love your macro capture of the mould as well as the other two PiPs, Gudrun! It may not be good for making candy with, but it is a great subject to capture from every angle!

Thank you so much, Val! When I got it I looked up how to get rid of the rust but I was afraid of handling acid or lye so I let it rust...

Interesting chocolate mould Gudrun. Shame you can't use it because of the rust. Love the lighting and colours in the second PIP.

Thank you, Graham! I did look up how to clean it but it seemed too much hassle so I just bought my chocolates;-)

Wonderful DOF!

Thanks a lot, Jan!

gut!

Vielen Dank, bk!

So that's how they put the crackle in the chocolate bars. :)

Thank you so much, Esther! I guess these days it's more automated;-)

Treasure of past times, very well shown!

Thanks a lot, Isabel!

Very striking. Inspired use of shallow depth-of-field and a beautifully framed photo, Gudrun.

Thank you so much, Roger! I got as close a possible.

What a fascinating series, Gudrun. I just love the golden sidelight on that one.

Thanks very much, Karen! The one with the golden light irritates me - the moulds look convex even though they are concave;-)

lovely dof and light

Thanks a lot, Wierd!

WOW WOW WOW!!! That's so cool I don't have the words! Never seen anything like it. Totally marvelous and what a fine subject for RUST! Great job, I loved all of your pictures! :)

Thanks a lot, Janet, much appreciated!

An interesting item for the challenge. I have never seen anything like this made of iron.

Thank you, pappy! I suppose these days it's all from silicone, at least for private consumers.

Ganz stark und wirklich sehr dekorativ.
