So Kim is back, and I ventured into the S2F classroom and oh, my, goodness. What a treasure trove of inspiration I found! It was just what I needed and I had to stop midway through a video to run and set up my still life. I love it when that happens.
When I watched how she set up her photo shoot, it reminded me that I have a pretty amazing spot to catch the light (if I’m early enough), and that would be our bathroom. In my previous post “Direction” I had revealed how I set up a small table in the bathtub. Today I covered that table with an old flour sack and hung some cotton tea towels on a foam core board as a backdrop. I found the tea towels at Williams Sonoma and they were worth every single penny. They wash beautifully and end up with just the right amount of wrinkle. When I’m finished with them I hang them on a back of a chair so that they don’t get fold lines since fold lines drive me nuts.
OK, so what did I find this week? First up, I found this beautiful big white Medalta bowl to go with my smaller bowls – major score!
I found that I could edit and save my collage in Lightroom with the help of Kim’s free template. I’m becoming a lot more comfortable with Lightroom (never thought I’d see the day) but this is the 5th version of my bowl collage, and I’m still not completely happy with it. In Photoshop I use lots of masks to control where adjustments appear and I haven’t figured that out in LR yet. What I did find amazing was that after I added my three images to the template, if I made an adjustment in the Develop Module, it was reflected in the template – way cool. It has been a great learning experience!
So that’s it for today! Thanks for stopping by, and I’m looking forward to seeing what you found this week!
Hummm, is it Friday????? or did I miss some days. I guess you got a wee bit excited, hehehe…. and that is just ok with me as I do love the set up. So clean and fresh looking.
lol, Barbara! I have a different post I have to publish on Friday so I had to publish FF today! :)
Oh!!! Wow!! Just plain gorgeous Barb!! I love white pottery, old flour sacks and linen pieces. I keep a stash of linen in the sewing room and love how it can be wrinkled with one squish of a hand. This week’s S2F lesson was so inspirational and full of good, good stuff. Love Kim’s LR templates. Now, I’ll go check out your “Directions” link. :-) Love your triptych!
Thank you, Beverly!
looks great! the mixed nuts made me crave them. :)
Pretty set-up, Barb. The light is really wonderful!!
Beautiful light! I am still discovering new things in Lightroom too. I imagine I will never run out of new things to learn in Lightroom.
Love this, so pretty and gorgeous light. Love your IG versions too. Happy weekend. :)
Oh, this white pottery is to die for! I’ve lately become totally enamored with white dinnerware. Your mosaic is great and I love each view.
Have a lovely weekend, Barb! Hope it’s warming up some for you.
I’m a person that loves anything white so naturally, I love your bowls. Glad you could find the larger one. Also, thanks for bathtub tip. I need to find some white space for photos. I see such lovely ones that the white with texture is pleasing. Happy Friday. :)
I’m always attracted to white still lives. Want to try one soon. It’s on my list. Have a super weekend.
what a lovely friday find and beautifully photographed.
Oh, I love the white!
First…beautiful bowls! I love the new larger one that you found! Second, love how you set this up! Thanks for the tip about the towels. I need to check them out!
This is just gorgeous. All that white. I just love what you created in such perfect light. Trying to catch up. So much to do at home and on here.
