this is my first assignment with the Frugal Still Life Photography course with Cheryl McCain (who can be found HERE).
i was struggling with what to photograph for this but finally decided to use some shells. this shell in the foreground was $1.25 at a shell store, and the ones in the background I found on the beach.
i used a curtain panel for a background. i picked it up at a garage sale last summer for ten cents. there is no hem, and it is worn in spots but i love it for still life backgrounds. i clipped a pant-hanger to the top and hung it off my front door. for lighting, i used the available light coming thru the door.
i added a texture from Cheryl (i think the name texvol7 #2)
and i love how it gave the image a wash of colors.
here is a pull-back image of the set up.
