about my grandmother

My plan today was to load a super duper masterpiece having practiced on on something with low lighting - but instead i had a bit of an epic failure!!

so this evening we have a filler. Things from my grandmother. Rita McErlean x

[Sue Wilde]

This may not be super dooper but it is good. In fact I love it...especially the beads

@swilde thanks Sue - this was not the project!! ha! this is a filler i took.. ages ago! I need to learn about lighting and shadows and stuff like that.. so i was just practicing with a light and candle etc for light on a still life.. but i can't quite get the settings right. I need to do some research

Epic failure make us learn, well sometimes:0)

I love the composition and the impact the picture gives. This may not be the "Mona Lisa" or "Ansel Adams" you were hoping for but it is still a very nice photo.

your grandmother is a stunning looking young lady here, nice you have mementos of her

[Lin]

A beautiful capture of a beautiful girl - what a wonderful photo!

[Ruby]

@bassflyer65 @kali66 @linnypinny @ourrube thanks everyone. Potentially awkward moment tho! I do quite like this - given that there is probably only so much you can do with an old photo, rosary and prayer book. My epic failure was some playing i was doing with some other photos.. will post them and ask for some ideas and feedback - perhaps next week

[Paul "Snapchap" Everest]

Don't worry - we all have our failures (I get them every blasted day!). Lovely shot of your grandmother and her rosary.

@steampowered thanks for the reassurance !!

[Call me Joe]

So precious image -I always carry my beads and (camera,of course) w/me every where I go:)

[Linda]

A very oldy worldy and nostalgic feel. Very nice composition.
