Old Grinder

I need to take a still life for my get-pushed challenge and not a lot of energy for accomplishing. So I took a picture of this grinder and played with a gradient map which I have been studying with my digital scrapbooking. Sorry not very exciting.

I'm impressed by the beautifully lit glass. Not so easy to photograph.

What a nice old grinder Joan. Neat shot.

This grinder looks quite small, so not for meat then? Perhaps spices?

Joan, I hope you are feeling better! Going to be cold the next few days so rest up! :)

Hello Joan!
My challenge for you is to take a picture with two contrasting colors, so purple and yellow, orange and blue or red and green. Have fun! ;)
