Tiny Things on Blue Velvet

I like the lighting on the Beanie horse:


Not too excited about the photo of this little jewelry bag. Cute bag, but uninteresting from any of the 27 angles I shot it at. Still, vastly better on blue velvet than white cardstock.

Geauga Antique Market, Sept. 25, 2010

Love this show - it's held in June and September at the Geauga County Fairgrounds. They have the most amazing collection of stuff, from furniture I'd kill for to woeful kitsch (see the chair in the layout). Went with Regina, had a blast, bought...nothing. Ah well - next year.

More Tiny Things

Gingerbread cookie buttons.

A small padlock, missing its key.

Expertly repaired dino Christmas ornament.

New horse ornamnent.

Really homely sea turtle toy. No idea where this came from.

Several notes to myself:
1. The white backround is already pretty boring.

2. Dust first, shoot next.

3. A big, ole glob of glue does not make for an attractive repair.

First Snow

Nice to wake up to light snow this morning - the woods behind Summa Wellness was transformed. Snow-covered branches contrasted against wet black trunks and blue sky.

Tried this shot in black and white and color - kind of liking the B&W.

The shot below suggests the transition between Fall and Winter.

Lots of trouble posting tonight. Blogger just isn't uploading photos normally.

Tiny Things

The next photo project on the list is "Tiny Things". I set up a small light box to get even illumination, and plan to take macros of small objects. I like Rose's Tea animals - this is the one from the last box I bought.

1/60 s, f8, 62mm. Two incandescent lights, one on either side, with the flash set up to bounce off the top of the box. (Thanks for the Speedlight, Honey - it's sweet!). Credit: Rhonna Farrer Bold Borders brush, Two Peas in a Bucket.

Blue Hen Falls

Missed the CVPS photowalk Saturday, so I went to Blue Hen Falls on my own tonight. Nice walk, with a bunch of chipmunks for company. I didn't see another person until I was on my way out. The photos below are going to the critique tomorrow.

Wish me luck!
