But I did get given one when I was of school age !!

Shot taken for Saturday Self Challenge - 19/08/2023 -- Kitchen Utensils .

This is a silver spoon - well silver plate , the hallmark on the back says " E P N S " ( Electroplated Nickel Silver ) and was given to me back in it must have been the 1960s by my Godfather , later to be my Stepfather . I cannot remember the significance of the Royal Emblem to the spoon , but I do know the spoon was something to do with Lawn Bowls which my Godfather played with a local team .

Anyway this little spoon has been with me for a very very long time and near enough most of that time has been used every day as the sugar spoon in the sugar pot by the kettle in the kitchen and as I am the only one to take sugar I am the one to benefit from it - therefore a very well used utensil !!

Balancing two spoons on perforated metal is not easy! Then placing a led light underneath without disturbing. The colours are created by the light reflection off support boxes placed on wood I positioned under the metal.

Macro Mondays: Kitchen

This spoon belonged to my mother, and was used as a measure for a Tablespoon. This is probably not accurate compared to today's metric measures, but I still use it without any failures.

Looking close on Friday theme: One spoon and one fork

Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊

This is my entry for this week’s Macro Mondays theme of ‘Monochrome’ i.e. the use of a single colour, rather than a restriction to black and white. I’m usually hopeless at finding things to photograph, but I sought inspiration in the kitchen drawers and, for once, found it in the shape of these measuring spoons. To give you an idea of scale (and to conform to the 3” macro requirement of the group) the smallest is a ¼ teaspoon, then a ½, then a full teaspoon, then a tablespoon. It was shot in colour, using a Canon 6D with an EF100mm f/2.8L Macro lens and a Yongnuo speedlite bounced off the ceiling, completely desaturated, and then a cold filter added.

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.

This is the second (and the last...) shot about spoon river ; I know I can be boring, but, believe me, I like it so much...

Questo è il secondo (e ultimo, giuro...) scatto relativo a spoon river; so di essere forse noioso, ma, credetemi, mi piace così tanto...

Following the trend for reflecting things from tablets and phones. Image flipped so the text is the correct way round in the spoon.

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!

For Smile on Saturday: "Fork(s) reflected in spoon(s)"

Going back even further into the archives - a bit of fun with shiny spoons and gift wrap!!!

#spoon

Perfect pastime on a rainy day.
