Sad Iron and Linens

July 21, 2015 by CherylMC Leave a Comment

I decided to re-visit the "laundry" prompt from The Studio | Online using an antique Sad Iron and Linens. I don't know about in today's hurried world but laundry day almost always included ironing. I couldn't image having to iron a pile of clothes with this heavy sad iron but many MANY women did.....way back in the day. There was no extra processing of the image other than to set my … [Read more...]

One Little Thing – Part 2

April 11, 2015 by CherylMC 1 Comment

Oh my......who knows how many parts there may be to this One Little Thing prompt in The Studio, but it is sure testing my thought processes. I wanted to shoot One Little Thing - Part 2 in the daylight hours, so here's what I came up with for my old saxophone today. I used my 10-24mm wide angle lens for this top down shot.

Yes, I was in the band in Junior High School and STILL … [Read more...]

Wabi Sabi Texture Tuesday

March 10, 2015 by CherylMC 8 Comments

It was a day to "simplify" my photography. It was a long and busy day. I didn't have an opportunity to shoot in the daytime but needed the peace of shooting SOMETHING and something simple. I can spend an hour at times setting up a still life OR I can keep it simple, grab a couple things like this old worn and torn book and a dried and withered flower. I placed them on my old boards and since it … [Read more...]

It’s What’s for Breakfast

February 7, 2015 by CherylMC 4 Comments

This most definitely was my breakfast this morning and I'd totally forgotten about the Be Still Fifty Two assignment until I'd already cut the banana into the blender. Oh well, it works for me! I was kind of sorta in a hurry this morning as I had errands to run, so just 1 "pose" for today but three different edits. The first is basically what came out of the camera (with a basic LR edit). I … [Read more...]
