Macro Mondays - Holiday Bokeh - Knitted Snowmen (In Explore 20 Dec 2016)
For this week’s Macro Mondays ‘Holiday Bokeh’ theme, I have chosen to photograph some small hand knitted Snowmen. The hand-crafted snowmen always make an appearance at this time of year.
The pom-pom snowballs adjacent to the snowmen are also hand-made, using wool that is wrapped around two small washers! For the ‘snow’ I used a white faux sheepskin rug. The background is simply a ceramic Christmas tree lamp and crunched up aluminium foil, sufficiently displaced from the foreground subject to create the bokeh effect.
The lighting for this shot is somewhat mixed. The overall lighting is daylight through a diffuser panel, with approximately 3 seconds of ‘light-painting’ (using a small torch on the foil background) during the exposure.
