Apr 17: Still, er, life?

I've moved the 'studio' today. We've been using the end of the dining table as our studio set up for, er, well for as long as we've had the lights. It gets packed away only when we have people over for dinner. But we've both got fed up with tripping over the light stands and cables, so today it got moved into the conservatory - not as grand as it sounds, and not ideal as the glass lets too much light in and acts as unwanted reflectors. We can sort that though, and it's given us back the dining room. During the move, I found these daffs which were a rejected idea from last weeks 'yellow' picture. Now totally dead, but a prop's a prop, so here it is. Much more interesting that when they were alive!

I like the texture of the flowers here... Let us know how you like the move. And what you do to your new 'studio'.

A flower shot, hmmm, you must be running short of ideas....lol

I leave my lights up too and trip over the cords. So good move. And this is more of a grabber than a 'straight' flower shot. The pebbles add a great deal.

I'm jealous - I wish I had a designated place I could leave my lights up all the time! I'd probably use them more if I did! I like the combination of elements here.

Nice photo, at least they were not wasted.

I've loved dying flowers for years. They are just as beautiful in their own way as new fresh young ones. Now that I'm of "a certain age" I can see a moral in this too. We may have a faded exterior but our hearts are still young. ;-)
