mini-cupcakes and mini-me by summerfield

mini-cupcakes and mini-me

my first attempt at mini-portraiture.

partner got me some mini-cupcakes for me 60th burday and thought i'd have some fun with them before i eat all of them away!

this is quite fun but laborious to do. first you take a pic of the mini-cupcakes with a stand in. see my stand in here: http://one-photograph-a-day.blogspot.ca/ then you take your photo and you have to make sure the camera has the same angle, lighting, blah-blah! will experiment with this again in the future.

thank you for your kind views and comments; know that they are much appreciated.
Very cool, and effective. I love the giant cupcakes!

This is awesome! You look great and so do those cupcakes! I'm sure you enjoyed every bite!

Definitely a good fun shot

You have got a good result here. I have done this with layers but find it difficult to get sharp edges. This is Alice-Vikki in Cupcake Wonderland!

@carolinedreams - they do look big, don't they? thank you, caroline.

@cheribug - the cupcakes are really adorable! :-) thank you, my cheribug.

@olivetreeann - thank you, ann, it's a good thing it's a mini-portrait if it was a regular portrait, i wouldn't have fit in the frame. hahaha!

@bkbinthecity - thank you, brian.

@maggiemae - i easily lose patience with this kind of laborious processing. i now have photoshop but i couldn't be bothered to learn it. thank you, maggiemae.

Well, my plans have changed- again! Today I went out to start up the car and the battery has died. We made the decision tonight that I shall go directly home (I will not pass go, and this latest glitch will feel like I've lost 200 dollars!) rather than head out to Batavia for a visit. The car needs a good check up from our Subaru guy and the last thing we want is for me to get stranded with our granddaughter along for the ride. So, once again I must put our get together on hold. But it is not out altogether. When the car is road trip worthy again and the house is all back together I'll be heading out there for a visit and once again will let you know I'm on my way!

@olivetreeann - oh, crap! was so looking forward to meeting up with you. well, the new plan makes sense though. i wouldn't want you stranded in the middle of a strange place either. yes, we can plan again. have a safe trip back home and hope the car cooperates this time. thank you, my friend!

I didn't follow you at this time. Actually not a member of 365 then. Cool capture and I liked knowig how you shot this. Did the stand in give you some perspective as to the size or position of you in this photo?

Whew! I admire your restraint. I wouldn’t have been able to concentrate on photography with little cakes sitting there calling my name. Neat to see your explanation of how you put it together. To quote someone I know—“Aces!” 🤣
I was only a couple of months into my project when you posted this. I think Kathy @randystreat was joining right about then too.
