Well, not really...but they sat on my table and I took lots of photos of them! I'm participating in Kim Klassen's Beyond Beyond class this year. Our assignment this week was to pick an item (or two) and spend a good amount of time taking photos of it without moving the items themselves. The idea was to get different perspectives only by moving your body/camera around the item(s). I chose these two old spoons and laid them out on top of a large piece of Bristol paper in my kitchen. I wanted natural light, as much as possible, and I thought it was fitting that the muted colors are very much like the winter landscape outside right now. This was a fun lesson...it forced me to really study my spoons and think about negative/positive space, shadows, etc., when taking each shot.
P.S. Kim Klassen's online classes are wonderful and I highly recommend any or all of them. It's because of Kim that I learned Photoshop Elements and have improved my photo editing skills.

ReplyDeleteHi Sherri! Love your spoons! It is amazing how you could come up with so many great photos from different perspectives!
ReplyDeleteI really love the two spoon in front of the window. The light reflecting on the spoons matches the trees outside the window.
ReplyDeleteI really like the 5th one, but I also think the 6th one, with the trees outside visible in the windows, is equally stunning.

ReplyDeleteThese are so gorgeous - I looked at them and thought they must be the runcible spoon from the Owl and the Pussycat. :) Love your camera angles and how the light is catching them. Beautifully done.

ReplyDeleteOh Sherri! Lovely photos of these spoons. I love photography like those you did. [close up so tight you can see every bend and scratch]. As far as my shoes. I don't have a ton of heels. I love flats because there are a ton now that are so cute. :D
