I challenged myself with project 365 I would take one photo a day and publish it here. Not any special theme, but no photos taken with autofunction. All should be taken fully manual or semi manual with my Nikon D5500. And i did it I managed to do so 1 photo each day for a year. That year is over, but I will continue to post photos here. But not one each day :) I will continue to challenge myself with new technics and motives.
For quite some time ago I bought a set of colourful cups that I had this idea of filling with flowers or berries and make a still life of. Well now I have completed all of the cups and why not give you a summary of how it turned out. Please tell me if you have a favourite.
I found this lovely bowl online and just had to buy it (at Tradera). And when it arrived I realised that it would look great with spring flowers from the garden in it. So into the garden I went to pick flowers and make an arrangement.
It's time for the next of my beautiful colourful cups to be used in a still life. It's spring time outside and I found some Grape Hyacinths that worked very well with my cobalt blue cup.
I just love this season when the stores are full with Tulips! Photo taken in natural light.
Couldn't wait any longer.. it was time for a Christmas still life. This is also a part of my series of photos with small colourful (is black colourful??) espresso cups. Black and red always works so great together.
I found the most adorable cups on Tradera and just had to have them. I saw so many different photo options with them. And now when the spring finally seems to make its entrance why not use the pretty green one with some cute Snowdrops? So that is what I have been doing on this weeks day of.
I realise that it's a lot of flowers right now on this blog, but I try to enjoy my flowers in the garden as long as I can, soon the frost is here and the flowers are no more.
I also found this bottle in the barn, it has belonged to my grandmother and I thought it would be great for a still life, and I think it worked out very well.
Yesterday I went on a bouquet binding class, a short but very nice one and this is what I came home with.
We are trying to create a wild meadow with flowers for the bees and butterflies and it's really starting to look like I had imagined.
Had an idea of a photo with Chive flowers, and remembered this vase that we got when we got married. Really happy with how it looks like a hair piece.
When I was young or even a child my father used to talk a hole in my head about Pasqueflowers every spring. I didn't understand at all his fascination about these small flowers. Until now when I finally have them in my own garden. I would also like to say that my father took photos of everything, and he would have been so proud to see this small flower in his daughter's garden that also happens to be his childhood home.
At last some of the spring flowers are here in my garden in the south of Sweden! Love these simple little Snowdrops.
Got this beautiful bouquet of flowers from my brother and his wife when they was here the other day, just had to use some of those flowers for a still life. I found this pocket flask in our barn when we were cleaning out old stuff. I thought it was just made for a still life.
This year I've been obsessed with growing Dahlia in the garden. Love the colors and the different shapes of them. Took this photo an early morning with morning dew still on the flower.
Went to an open garden were you can pick your own bouquet and arranged this little one.
I got inspired by a photo I saw at IKEA and decided to do my own version of it. Photo taken in natural light.
A few days ago I took my bouquet of Tulips and placed them in an old milk jug in front of two very old and a bit weathered doors. I think this worked perfect as a still life.
Spring is finally here, it took some time but I hope it's here to stay now. I went out in the forest and got a bouquet of Wood Anemone that I just needed to turn into a still life.
