These are some rather hurried photos I took in the garden this afternoon, without a light box - so please excuse the poor lighting, overshine, and reflection of me and the camera in the shot!

Photo background
On a trip this weekend to the local pet shop to buy a goldfish for the girls I finally spotted some grey slate stone in a dark corner to use as a background in my pictures. I've been looking in garden centres and the like for ages!

I will re-do the pictures when I have longer than five minutes to spend, but I really needed to get them listed.
I really like the dark grey against the silver - it really makes it stand out, so you can see the all the detail, which I usually find really tricky with my the more subtle silver and crystal jewellery.

Ohh they look good. . .
ReplyDeleteI find though white leaves the object as the main focus it can be so stark sometimes.
My hubby has a huge piece of slate in the garden bet he'd notice if it disappeared into my workspace. . .
LOL. :o)
I agree, your jewellery does look good against the darker slate background.
ReplyDeleteI think we all must be totally obssessed about our photos and backgrounds!
Lovely slate, your silver really stands out here. I was lucky and found a bit on the beach!
ReplyDeleteEver searching for something better though - you're right it is a bit of an obsession! But that will do for now.
ReplyDeleteIf only you lived closer, I have a nice largish bit of grey slate we use for a plant stand you could have had - I like your bit though - looks fab with the silver against it. Have you tried diy centre for floor tiles, there are some nice grey slate ones of them around.
ReplyDeleteyep - but the good ones come in packs and I can't bring myself to spend £20 on it. I should just do it. Am thinking this wind will knock a slate off the roof
