Maybe a slice or two of (Triangular) toast
and a couple or three of those small packs of butter and marmalade ( the type you nick from hotels) :shrug:
unless of course its supposed to be all on its lonesome then I can't help sorry

Background and reason might help budding inspirators CW ... :shrug:




:p

Well the background is I got given this object for college to take a still life in the studio and "on location". I've done the studio one but dont have any ideas for location... which leads me to where we are now :)

Cobra, it can have anything in the photo, anything!

Well OK then in the studio as is, and on location, breakfast table, coffee cups, toast as previously suggested, along with marmite I meant marmalade obviously etc :D

Or what about taking it to a busy cafe, sit yourself down at a table near the counter so lots of people are walking by. Then set the shot up so that you're maybe at a 45 degree angle above the rack, set it to a slightly slow shutter and take the shot. Hopefully you'll get a nice image of a used rack (pop some toast in it, have a plate with a slice buttered, and a steaming cup of tea on a saucer...) with lots of busy motion blurred commotion in the back ground... Call it 'Relaxing Among The Chaos.

:shrug: My imagination went into over drive the :lol:

Are you supposed to make it look good? or think out of the box-ish?

I'm thinking manky kitchen counter, rack loaded with burnt toast, butter all over it.

or, rack on a pristine plate with beautiful toast in it with a dribbling of melted butter round the plate (nouvelle cuisine stylee) and a chef dropping a sprig of parsley on top as a finishing touch.

Following on from this idea...how about taking a table, chairs, table cloth, plates etc and the toast rack to an unusual location (middle of the beach or if you are brave a shopping centre!)
