I do like those, Robin, specially the last two. I found it quite therapeutic, assembling the props and working out how to arrange them so as to make a decent composition. I was always surprised how weird it looked when viewed from a more "normal" angle! I confess to using my little digicam to assess compositions sometimes, but OTOH it's quite misleading having relatively massive depth of field!I was trying my hand at still life last year and am hoping to do some more, so any tips most welcome. I find it suits the slower pace of film photography, with the advantage of course of not being dependent on the weather.View attachment 410835View attachment 410836View attachment 410840View attachment 410841
Thanks Chris. I agree, the scene setting is rather satisfying and surprisingly time consuming. I’m also guilty of a little digital support now and then.I do like those, Robin, specially the last two.

Like the contrast of warm and cool tones on the foliage
I like this, I think the angle adds to the drama.
