In the Spotlight

One day in July last year, I was standing in my kitchen when I noticed the sunlight and shadows reflecting off the black flecked marble benchtop, creating a kind of spotlight. I had only recently purchased the red slippers and they were sitting on my dining table, so I rushed to get them and spent a ten minute window photographing them in the spotlight before the sun changed position and drew the spotlight away.

 

The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 10th of July is “a touch of red”. This requires a colour photograph, not a selective colour image, where the red should be the eye catching component. After using a pair of beautiful 1:12 size miniature red slippers from my miniatures collection for the “Smile on Saturday” theme of “polka dots”, I thought I might use this colour photo from my archive featuring them for this week’s theme. I hope that you like it, and that it makes you smile.

 

This pair of shoes is a centimetre in height and length.
