300 Year Old Torah by farmreporter

300 Year Old Torah

Jackie @30pics4jackiesdiamond challenged me to do a fine art still life with layers, textures, and the full works.....
She even gave me a link full of examples of what she would like.

This does not actually have much post processing since I am still in limbo and between houses. It is almost SOOC so no layers or textures but it is cropped a tad.

The textures come from a high ISO that I used in the low light.

There is not much known about this Torah except that it was brought to Canada from Czechoslovakia following the Second World War by a returning soldier. It is unknown how he rescued it.

It is older than our country! And it is now a much appreciated treasure hidden in a historic Synagogue at Heritage Park in Calgary, Alberta.

Here you go, Jackie @30pics4jackiesdiamond.

Wendy, I have a simple get-pushed challenge for a farmer. Your challenge is to create a B&W photograph of a single vegetable. You might be inspired by Edward Weston, but that is just an idea.

Thank you, Jackie!
You gave me a fabulous challenge that really got me thinking about how to do it without the aid of PS to use layers and textures.
365 really helps us with skills like this!
