Compositionally Challenged Week 46 - Flat Lay & Knolling
Ice cubes placed on top of smooth white acrylic sprayed with water, with blue fairy lights underneath. In post I desaturated to give this more of an icy look.
Day 80/365:
I've been having a bit of a spring clean. Yesterday I came across these little pots in my prop stash. Not sure I've used them before. Today cleaning out my kitchen cupboards I found some out of date spices and started to put them in the food waste but pulled myself up sharply...not before you take a photo! The little vintage pots along with my collection of vintage mustard spoons were the perfect accompaniment to the spices.
No inspiration for MM today.

Back from a few days away so also back in my still life/ flat lay comfort zone.
I looked out into the garden and noticed the sedum had turned to this lovely autumnal russet red. I instantly saw it as a flat lay opportunity. The little tag is one I made.

I just wasn't feeling it today so was struggling to come up with something. I finally settled on this photo of the book we are reading at my book group. It was my suggestion on a recommendation from my daughter-in-law. I haven't started reading it yet but I'm hoping it will be good.
I baked an apple pie today. I use to prefer baking cakes but lately my preference has turned towards pies. I am still learning how to perfect the art of pastry.
I used my wooden cutting board as the backdrop for this flatlay to play along with the Flickr Friday theme for the week - "Board".
Thanks very much for your visit! :)
I had my sewing kit out today to do a little mending and in there I have these little antique scissors.
I was feeling a bit stuck creatively this morning but saw the blank music notebook and my dried sunflowers and had a lightbulb moment. This may just be the first in a series of items on the staff paper, excited for a new direction and some fresh ideas.
The background is a vellum indenture from 1794 (200+ years of creasing is tricky to deal with). Kept to a minimal colour palette with just a couple of main colours — red and silver, with a few accent colours.

I had seen some flat lay photography that had this dark, rich feel to it, and I thought I'd try my hand. Strangely satisfying...

The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 14th of August is “flat lay”, where a photo is taken of objects arranged on a flat surface, captured from directly above. I’ve never done a great deal of this type of photography before, so it was a great challenge for me. I settled upon photographing a selection of my Playmobil princesses because their skirts, which come in two halves, help them to lie flat, as does their body design. The difficulty really lay (pardon the pun) in whom would I pick, as there are so many varying colours and designs. I’ve tried to pick a range to show the variations available in the different Playmobil characters available. Whilst I did deliberately give them all blonde hair to stand out against the black background, as you can see, not all princesses wear pink. I hope that this flat lay catches your eye, and makes you smile!
Playmobil is a line of toys produced by the Brandstätter Group, headquartered in Zirndorf, Germany. Production began in 1974. Playmobil began to be sold worldwide in 1975, and by 2009, approximately 2.2 billion Playmobil figures had been sold. The signature Playmobil toy is a 7.5 cm tall human figure with a particular smiling face. A wide range of accessories, buildings and vehicles, as well as many sorts of animals, are also part of the Playmobil line. Playmobil toys are produced in themed series of sets as well as individual special figures and playsets. New products and product lines developed by a 50-strong development team are introduced frequently, and older sets are discontinued. Promotional and one-off products are sometimes produced in very limited quantities. These practices have helped give rise to a sizeable community of collectors.
I was happy to discover that the radishes in my garden were ready to pick. I couldn't resist using them as my subject for today. Normally, I am not a fan of raw radishes but discovered that they are quite tasty when quick-pickled. Do you enjoy radishes? What is your favorite way to prepare them?

I've used this bouquet before, it was my daughter-in-law's from when she was a bridesmaid a few years ago.

Een van de dingen die mijn moeder vaak zei, betekenis: wie zo vroeg wil genieten komt bedrogen uit.
The weather here recently shifted to rain in rather biblical proportions, so I thought I'd stay indoors and try another flat lay image. Quite satisfying, actually.

This is my first attempt at something called a “flatlay”! I’ve been wanting to try it for some time now, and decided today is the day....no Santa’s were harmed in the filming of this project, although some appear arthritic and old. That’s because they are! I love my vintage Santas, and think I’ve put them to good use.
Day 364/365:
This is part of the Christmas bouquet my eldest son and his wife bought for me. It's still going strong and came in handy when I couldn't think what to take a photo of by 10:30 this evening. A case of that'll do for the penultimate day! It's been a busy couple of days as our grandson is staying with us so there is much fun to be had and he has us in stitches with his antics and the things he says.
Here is a second shot from the top. I lighted from the upper right of the photo and used a reflector to lessen the shadow side. Photo is straight out of camera. :)
Three vintage small paper fans from Japan discovered when going through locker of Pam's father in attic being cleaned following passing of her mother a couple of months ago in preparing to sell vacant home. Pam’s longtime deceased father was a Marine who served several years in the Pacific Theater of WW II. The small box had never been noticed or opened. An unsuspected find.

It's half term holidays here so we are doing a lot of grand parenting this week. It's leaving little time for photography (or Flickr) so I had to use a flash for this flat lay, rather than my usual natural light. I gave it a vintage look in NIK software. I used the same rice paper as with yesterday's photo and added the vintage book that was gifted to me recently.
