still life flat lay---backlit leaves

I found an ancient copy of Practical Photography magazine - remember it? It's not published any more unfortunately. A feature on still life ideas caught my eye, so I've spent a couple of weeks searching for a suitable pencil sharpener. Not easy in lockdown but a neighbour found one. So after an evening of fiddling and adjusting minute details, hey presto, a zip. #37 Flat lay for the group challenge 121 pictures in 2021

Developed with Darktable 3.6.0.

My apricot raisin toast is shaped like two footprints. Apricot raisin bread from COBS bread bakery.

This is a flat-lay standing up. My grandson set the animals people and other props up.

Flat lay may be my new thing :)

Had some fun playing with flat lay compositions using farm eggs and a small whisk. Processing in Silver Efex.

Colourful buttons shot on a light pad and then repeated and distorted in Photoshop to create this bit of fun 'art'

Phlox and Mel put the finishing touches on the flat lay project for their Monster High art class.

BaD 15 January 2018: Flat

♻️ 💚 ♻️

This was a fun one. I decided to incorporate the love of travel with photography. Mostly I shoot digital, but I included the camera I purchased in 1980 when I was in high school. I also included my passport, a map and travel book of Ireland and photos I took while I was there.

Flat lay genre. Thank you for your appreciation, Gail

41/52: The weekly challenge - Pink

I do love a bit of pink so this theme wasn't to difficult.

Props include hand warmers knitted by me, bias binding from a vintage craft shop in Melbourne and a cup and saucer from Victoria, Vancouver Island. I do love things that bring back wonderful memories of my travels.

We are going to be away for a couple of days and I may not have internet access. will catch up when back. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

I listened to a podcast on Instgram by Deanne Love this morning and then got carried away with a photo challenge set by Deanne.

'Grab your fav hoop, put on some cool tunes, then GO! Collect as many things in your house that match your hoop 😊 Make some circle art, take a flat lay pic and share it

It has really taken off on Instagram myfavhoop with many people (including me) doing it with more than one hoop.

A little bit of fun during lockdown. I enjoyed myself doing these flatlays and this is probably my favourite - so I'm using it for:

Thanks very much for your visit, comments and faves! HSoS!

I'm going to love this week! Flat lays are one of my favorite things to do! I'm not sure how modern this is, but I think having to remind people to be kind is a modern thing. I don't remember having to be told this when I was growing up, we just tried our best to be.

Flat lay of Coffee ...cafe Nero... everyone has favourites...

Another wet, cold and dreary day. It might not feel like it's Spring so I had to get a little creative to make it feel like it is. ☀️🌷

I find miniature anything adorable and these little books I'm using for a project for my librarian pen pal are especially cute!

Hello friends! Hope you are all passing marvelous time! I hope you all like this shot of time. It was shot during dusk and I tried to add much cold to it as possible!

Maple seeds in Montreal. I initially processed this using the Agfa Scala 200 preset from VSCO, which is a B+W preset. But I switched it back to colour after doing some edits, and decided I liked the colour version better.

Same scarf as I used the other day...a charity shop find that I just knew would be handy. The lavender I picked last summer at our local lavender farm. I made the wreath but changed the ribbon on it for this shot.

Smell the rain. Splash in a puddle. Enjoy your life!

This Blythe doll is Simply Sparkly Spark wearing Nicky Lad’s raincoat, posing for “Petrichor” (the smell of rain) in Blythe a Day on Flickr. This is a chalkboard flat lay. I used liquid chalk markers for the rain.

Found this bunch of roses I specifically bought to use as a prop but forgot I had them.

Adding in some pink & white ribbon which I thought would go well.
