Digital Photography School Forums inspired me to experiment with photographic still life in the spring. Their
weekly assignment topic was
wisdom, which I found quite inspiring, as it can be interpreted so many different ways.
Another hobby of mine is genealogy - finding out where I came from and understanding what my ancestors experienced helps to put things into perspective. I decided to focus on this as a source of wisdom, the wisdom of knowing where you came from, to construct a still life to photograph as my entry into the competition.
The photographs are of my two great grandfathers (although you can't really see at this size - click photographs for larger versions).
It was also around this time that I discovered my mums table was ultra reflective, and she also owns some quirky looking bits and bobs, so I thought I would take a few shots of this antique clock, and I quite liked the resulting reflections.
"Reflections of Time"
I found this little fella in my garden, sliding along the now dead (I'm still upset. This was the down side of the snow/frost) red banana plant. My macro lens (a Tamron) was blurring the background beautifully, but it was all a mass of browns, and I wanted more contrast, so I propped some coloured card behind him.
Here's a stalking little cat on a hot tin roof!
