My get pushed partner challenged me to take use a triptych to tell a story. Since he lives in USA and I'm in England I thought we ought to have a story about afternoon tea, how very English? I found it really difficult to get the light consistent. It was a sunny-ish day but the light was changing all the time. I'm not totally happy with it.....but.....I guess that's why I'm here. Thanks @hjbenson I enjoyed this.
Lovely shots and great tea set. Were you using natural light from the window? Maybe putting up a light shade or tissue paper might have toned it down a little and given more detail.
@archaeofrog Ah, thank you......there is a big floor to ceiling window the other side of the table.....I have just remembered a voile panel that I have in the attic which would have done the job.....will dig it out for my ever expanding collection of useful photography things! :0)
@nicolaeastwood Perfect! One of my favorite accessories is one of those trifold display boards that kids use for Science Fair projects. Makes a very useful and portable background.
@steampowered thank you.....it took me so long I ate those. Wanted to shoot the third picture again, after I'd edited but then I remembered that I'd eaten the biscuit too!! :0)
Nice triptography, Nicola. Ok, so we're Get Pushed challengers for Week 28 - Monday Jan 28 to Sunday Feb 3. I like that your challenge reflects your latest challenge.
You live in such a beautiful historic place, so challenge this week is Juxtaposition: Old and New. Take a photo with something historic alongside something modern.
This can be an old building next to a new one, or a new car driving through an old covered bridge. Just make the 2 objects related in some way. Shoot the 2 objects within the same frame, rather than making a composition later in Photoshop.
Shot pic one, then three (so the cup didn't have to move).....then two while drinking three. All put together in picmonkey which is about as technical as I can get!

Good luck, looking forward to your results!
