Time Has Stopped
Maybe it's getting a little out of hand with the watches... Or, in this case, a watch part of a vintage pocket watch given to me by my Dad when I was about 14. It has long stopped working, and now, sadly, the minute hand has also come off. On the other hand, this allowed me to photograph the minute hand in a different setting other than on the watch face. The minute hand is a delicate, thin piece of brass, and I had to handle it with utmost care not to bend or even break it. So I thought I'd pair it with something equally soft and delicate, the white feather I've already used for a few MM themes.
High-key lent itself to this subject, and since I love the combination of white, gold, and blue, I once again used the blue glitter foam sheet (dull side up) as background. The scene was directly illuminated from above, and indirectly with two LEDs pointed at a small, gold-coated cardboard cake board that I use as a reflector.
In the first comment, you can see the pocket watch with all the hands still in place...
HMM, Everyone, and have a nice week ahead!
