My challenge was to do a vintage Christmas shot, I could choose the era and edit as I chose. All I have done is a crop, to keep that valuable pineapple and costly candles, in the frame. However the challenge for me was to do 'A Hazel' and ask the gentleman to pose for me. I only took the one shot of him, and in retrospect was quite quick in making a getaway!!
This gentleman, I've rudely forgotten his name, told us all about the Georgian Christmas traditions. Between sumptious courses the entire table settings would be changed, with clean linens; as napkins and tablecloth would be have been used to clean greasy fingers and mouths.
@quietpurplehaze hazel I was so nervous, I snapped and practically ran away after a quick 'thank you!! @ludwigsdiana thank you @jacqbb the volunteers and staff always do a great job of sharing their knowledge
Nicely done Jackie. Thank you for the lovely gift that arrived in the post today. I can't believe how quickly this year has flown by. I hope that you and Him have a wonderful Christmas xx
@merrelyn my pleasure!!! Hope it's useful and you recognise some of the places I've uploaded here!!! @joysabin very kind @wendyfrost which were fake LEDs @Dawn thank you @quietpurplehaze not sure I will!!
I think it's always nerve wracking asking a stranger for a photo - well done!
For this week's Get Pushed how about a collage of say 12 assorted doors (I so want to do this but never get around to it) but with the last one sporting a Christmas wreath? You can always use any door shots you may already have; or a Christmas themed triptych but say 1 in colour and 2 in b&w or vice versa. Do either if these apoeal? Felicity
@fbailey Love the doors idea, but I just don't have time to go around taking shots of that number of doors on my day off this week or have that many in my albums. BUT the tryptich I should be able to manage. Thanks Felicity
Jackie, I don't know why I'm only now noticing this. Apologies for the very tardy commenting. This is fantastic! While it isn't what I originally imagined (a vintage look to the photo) it's certainly vintage Christmas. Aces. Mission well accomplished.
@ludwigsdiana thank you
