A Glimpse of my Everyday -The Orchid on the Kitchen Table

Still life is not my strength ... I lack imagination in general! However, it's amazing what a bit of tinfoil can do for a simple subject like the orchid on my kitchen table.

fab bokeh!

[Sylvia du Toit]

Beautiful lines and bokeh.

[Islandgirl]

Oh this makes beautiful bokeh!

[Richard Sayer]

I always forget the crumpled tin-foil trick for generating bokeh... it works well here.

[Monique]

Amazing bokeh

[Peter Dulis]

[Peter Day]

a friend of ours bought Mrs Day an orchid like this and it lasted in flower for nearly four months

[Bep]

Very pretty!

[Denise (lyndemc)]

I'm glad you shared what you used to create such an incredible backdrop of bokeh; cool! You've got one very happy orchid.

[Margo Sayer]

What a good notion for something mundane. Are there several shots waiting in the wings?

[Margaret Brown]

Love your bokeh and orchid

[KoalaGardens🐨]

[Tunia McClure]

I just read about tin foil as a backdrop. So glad to see how it looks.

[KWind]

Pretty! I love the bokeh!

[bkb in the city]

Very nice

[Tom]

Lovely, lots of bokeh

[Ann H. LeFevre]

That's the whole idea of a challenge- it gets us a bit out of our comfort zone and helps to give us an opportunity to try something new. You rose to the challenge!

[Kathy]

Lovely orchid and great bokeh.

[Milanie]

Clever to think of the tinfoil. This is the area I struggle in the most for sure. And like you said, my problem is no imagination.

fabulous bokeh!

@s4sayer Trying to be innovative for all of these still life images ... I may revert back to tinfoil before the end of the week though!

The tin foil background works so very well here. Beautiful shot.
