I was bought a lovely glass paperweight for Christmas and finally got around to playing with it and the camera. After a frustrating morning experimenting with backgrounds and lighting, Ian came in and gave me several pointers/reminders of the" how to" variety ( I seem to have memory problems when it comes to photography!). I was about to give up when he said "Why don't you put it in the window and try the sunset as a backcloth ". So I did!
I suppose some might call this a joint effort but it was me holding my camera and pointing it, Ian only helped a bit with showing what cropping can achieve.
