Macarons and Old Lace
“Life is like macarons… it’s always full of colour.” – anonymous.
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 12th of July is "from right above". The subject of your picture is not important; it can be people, animals, plants, objects... even a part of a village, city, forest, anything really. Now a few months ago, I was inspired to buy some very colourful macarons, and I decided to try photographing them in different ways. For one photograph I laid down some delicate laser cut paper doilies flowers and snowflake patterns that I had been given by a dear friend on a black backing board. I then placed four of the macarons on top of four of either the doily or snowflake shapes. They made such a nice and vibrant contrast that I was very taken by the idea. Of course, this seemingly simple picture took ages, and many unsuccessful attempts, to perfect, as being directly overhead, the macarons were not quite in the centre and had to be adjusted by millimetres. Eventually I succeeded, and this was the result! I do hope that you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!
