Five Minutes with Chocolates – RegularRandom

This week, I’m spending five minutes with Lindt chocolates, before we eat them. This shoot was just before my surgery. Julz and I had a little photo shoot at my place.

This is incredibly simple – 6 chocolates, a plate (from Freedom) and a pretty backdrop (paper from Kami-Fitzroy) – but I find it so pretty and dreamy.

My heart lies with product photography, I love it. I love creating a scene, capturing the tiny details, showcasing the beauty.

Please join us in our RegularRandom – here’s how:

  • choose a subject or a scene
  • spend five minutes photographing it – no more!
  • try to not interfere with the subject, instead see it from many angles, look through something at it, change the light that’s hitting it
  • have fun!
  • tag your post #regularrandom and ping back to this post

 

Oh, I have to show you this – Julz was playing with her new extension tubes for macro on her new Sony – so close to the subject!!!

    I love the way you create still life: balance is beautiful, and every element thoughtfully placed. I also love the fact that you went into surgery on the wings of a photo-shoot with a friend. So you!!!

      LOL yes sorry I took so long. Wasn’t really up for it for a while. I was going to do the balls today but haven’t managed yet. Yes the tubes, so funny.

    Yum, yum, yum. I don’t think I’ve even seen Lindt chocolates look so appealling (and I love the things). 🙂

    I’m impressed you could resist eating them long enough to take the photos. Still, I guess even I could wait 5 minutes…

    I see you broke your own rules though as those chocolates kept leaping onto the plate. First there were three, then four and at one time five of them! All beautifully photographed 🙂

      Oh yes, those rules are meant to be broken LOL. I feel I had an excuse since I had a sore shoulder – does that count? LOL.
