And all it textures.

[DeeGee]

I had a couple of hours today to get some photography in. So I popped up my tent (this time with out bending a finger backwards) and got stuck in. I'd bought some hessian off ebay and wanted a more rustic looking shot than I've done before. I wanted the texture of the cloth and the detailing on the fruit to stand out.

The tent stood on the kitchen table. A halogen light at each side. One a bedside/reading light special from B&Q the other a halogen angle-poise that I've had for a while. I'd bought some velco to attach my backing to the back of the tent, but ended up relying on the good old fashioned safety pin.

I sort of knew what I wanted in my head, but had to spend a while going through the F number and speed settings before I got anything like I wanted.

WDYT?

Couldn't resist this one... just wondering if anyone else thinks that the top of the melon looks like its had a pattern sewn onto it, a little bit like spider web embroidery?

I also manged to put the tent down and into its little circular zip pocket in only ten minutes, an improvement on the forty five minutes and broken nail that I needed the first time

Very nice Di, I like the Melon and the last one best with the bowl.

Looks like you had good fun with lighting, have you tried using a torch from different angles as well?

You did well to get the tent down and wrapped to go back inside the bag, I failed with mine and gave up, it now resides flat pack behind the wardrobe in a spare bedroom!!!
