one thing leads to another

I discovered this thistle while weeding the rose garden. The sunlight was quite harsh, so I used a large diffuser on the left, and found I quite liked the colour & mottled effect of the reflections on the window . Hey presto - background interest!

@sdutoit I will enjoy following your album Sylvia. You have some great ideas :) If there is anything you want to ask about any of my shot set ups or editing, feel free to ask at anytime. I love how much I have learnt from this community & am always happy to lend a hand - even if I dont post every day, I generally take a photo every day & check in.

Great use of a diffuser and lovely colors and dof

I really like the colour of the background which compliments the thistle perfectly. Lovely light too.

[Caroline]

Very cool! I love that you let us know about how you've set up the shot. :)

Just an invitation to take part in the F-word challenge. Any photo of something hanging from a chain or rope. There are so many things waiting to be photoghraphed. How about taking a photo of your favourite jewellery. A chain with a pendant or a light hanging on chains from the ceiling. Looking forward to see more photos in this challenge.
