Bud to Vase Still-life

Northy set me this challenge - how would you feel about finding inspiration from this webpage to do a still life? https://expertphotography.com/fun-still-life-photography-ideas/

I don't have the editting packages, or abilities, to emulate any of the sugestions in this website, but it did trigger a collage idea. Tis is a tad bolder on black

I'm not sure if I've strayed away from the challenge, but it was fun to do.

Morning- out with Sue to pick my props - sunflower buds to full blooms
Afternoon - setting up the lighting, the tripod (yes I used it!) and settings (yup all are taken on manual!) and then sorting the ones to use for the collage.

@northy this took a bit of planning, a lot of time, and was fun to do. I also only used manual settings to ensure black is black, I used mouth, fingers and feet to stabilise props and lights, glad no-one around to see me in action.

Apologies for setting you another challenge to emulate a fellow 365er btw. :)

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Yes really! What kind of program did you use for your template?

[JackieR]

@jacqbb for collages I often use PhotoscapeX it's free, quite basic, so perfect for me
