Day 290 of my 366 Project

For 'MacroMondays' theme of 'kitchen'.

My morning cereal bowl and a tea-spoon.

This started off as a simple idea! - KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid)

Like a lot of simple ideas, it didn't turn out quite as simple in practice! No real issues with lighting - just a single desk lamp -

Issues though with focus!

I would have liked the focus on the rim of the bowl to 'be inline' with the focus on the tip of the spoon - and I've just missed out! The bowl needs to be a bit further away from the camera than it is - how much? Probably 2-3 mm. And then the perspective changes !!!

I lined everything up by eye and I always find it difficult to reconcile what I see and what the camera sees - and it shows again here. It doesn't help with the camera tripod being right against the table-top either. I can never get my eye in the same place as my camera lens.

There wasn't any 'real' colour in the objects and very little possibility of getting any into the picture in the right place - wherever that might be! So I didn't try.

For the Macro Mondays challenge "Measurement" (September 24th 2018)

Not exactly imaginative - I ran out of time! So just a small nested set of plastic measuring spoons. The smallest is 1/8th of a teaspoon and the largest measures a little over 1" across.

Happy Measuring Macro Monday!

La Graella Vintage- Spoons

This caddy spoon is just the correct size for spooning deliciious Christmas spiced tea in to the teapot. A pity you can't smell the tea as it has a distinct aroma. HMM and enjoy your cuppas today!

Macro Mondays Junk Drawer

This is from my bakIng junk drawer. I thought the measuring spoons were very interesting with shapes, colors, sizes, and form. And now I have all the measuring spoons in one place so maybe my junk drawer isn't quite as junky!

Just another lazy day for the spoon bill.Made it to explore

My Purple Spoon Osteospermun were looking lovely in today's sunshine. I did go out for a drive and took my camera but due to the excessive number of roadworks and poor signage, got totally lost when trying to find the Cranbourne Botanic Gardens. I was most annoyed and should have put Mr Google on and checked the website of the gardens before going. So these flowers will have to do.

Tomorrow of course will return us to col, windy and rainy days. A Lensbaby Sweet 50 shot.

Two dessert spoons looking a little spotty!!

Our Daily Challenge ~ Spoon Reflections ....

Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all!

I always get inspired by all of you here on Flickr… Thank you so much ;) This way I got the idea to shoot ordinary kitchen objects and create unusual images with those. Well that’s not a unique project but I liked the idea… This should be the first one out of a small series.

Strobist info: I used two 80cm x 80cm softboxes with two YN560III (triggered by a YN560TX). Each of them was positioned on one side. Additionally I pointed a YN568EX from behind the camera towards the spoon.
