Still life with apple


Still trying to get the blog into gear and thought I would make the most of the sunlight coming into the south-facing window.  As you can see from the setup, I'm using black boards for a background and to block some of the light and although the camera is set up for a 'from above' shot, this one was taken with the camera on a cushion on the floor, using live view.  24-70 lens. The board was a length of wood picked up on the beach and cut into thirds which my willing assistant carried for me.  Guess who ...   I took some shots using the iron cobblers last and the small ornamental teapot which may get an airing later!

At the beach

We've had such beautiful weather this week - a walk on the beach is always a must!  This is Holly belonging to the Blyth family -   she can look so fierce but is a real softie - she has to be with 4 young children and a cat in the house!  Love using this triptych by Kim Klassen which is so easy to use in LR
