MACRO MONDAYS 2.0
7 OCTOBER 2019
USE SPOONS BUT MAKE THE IMAGE ABSTRACT. YOU MAY WANT TO PLAY WITH SHAPES, BACKGROUNDS AND LIGHTING OR REFLECTIONS TO GIVE YOUR IMAGE SOMETHING DIFFERENT. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THREE OR MORE SPOONS IN THE IMAGE

I started with metal teaspoons but I was getting 'orrible reflections and burnt out bits. I was getting disheartened. Then, I searched the internet to see if coloured plastic spoons were available in the hope that reflections wouldn't be so much of a problem. I found that 'Boots the Chemist' sold coloured spoons for babies :-) Helen very kindly bought me some from Boots and I tried again :-) After taking this shot, using ordinary indoor lighting, I thought I should mess around with the Twirl filter in 'Affinity Photo'. And, I toned down the background a little.

I'm not sure what I am now going to do with the babies' spoons :-)))

Now, for 'Sight and Sound' ~
This is going to be pretty tenuous but, the only 'Spoon' link that immediately came to mind is "Spoon River" by Steve Goodman. And, that is okay because it is one of my fave tracks :-) Steve wrote most of his own songs but he did, occasionally, record songs by others. "Spoon River" was written by Michael Smith.
Love the line "Come to the dance Mary Perkins I like you right well" :-)
