Today is Texture Tuesday and I present my “one thing”.
To explain … the “one thing” is a prompt in The Studio|Online whereby we choose one item and use it in a series of photos.
I’m currently working on a series of plate images and decided to use the burnt old cookie sheet I found at a garage sale as a background.
I’m happy enough with these, but my plan is to set up and shoot 4 different plates at the same time, with the same light, and apply the same processing to each one. This prompt is very inspiring and also grounding … as long as my background stays the same I can play and play and play …
I’ve used this background many times before …
… with lots of different elements …
… and I’m feeling more and more inspired! So strange how that is—it’s the same thing over and over—but different each time.
Have a wonderful Tuesday!
how smart and creative are you! :)
Thank you Theresa!
So many different looks ! Love them :)
Thank you, Caz!
And so much fun! I have an old, dark cookie sheet I’d like to use sometime just to see how it works out. I really love yours, and all the plates, and flowers on it. Your work is always a spark for us!! Thank you Barb,
Thank you, Beverly!
beautiful , fun and creative all of them. So much inspiration, love them all
Thank you, Aina!
be still my heart… absolutely FABULOUS Barb…. WOW… to each one.
yay…. just so lovely.
Thank you, Kim! xo
What a clever idea. I can’t help chuckling when I see the old cookie sheets. I was so amazed when we were at Gather. I would never have known what the background was.
Thank you, Marilyn!
That is a fantastic background! Such beautiful photos. The second one is my favorite.
Wonderful series! It is hard to believe an old cookie sheet could make such a great background. I absolutely love the knife that says ‘spread love’. :)
An old burnt cookie sheet, how ingenious! I have been loving these images on Instagram. Can’t get enough!!
Fabulous!!! I’ve photographed my cookie sheets for textures but hadn’t thought to actually use it for a background. I just love the processing on the second one. and those plates are to die for…
You are such an inspiration! These are wonderful!
Barb, I love every image for this post. I agree – it’s strange how the simple arranging and re-arranging of the pieces of the collage – can be so enjoyable, so relaxing, and in many ways, so surprising. A simple shift of one element or position can create a whole new look! A beautiful series of photos on a fantastic background!
