You have a well stocked spice rack Gudrun!
The collage is beautiful and so nice that you named the spices.

7 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne

Thank you so much, Rosa! I do have even more spices though I should replace a few because they are quite old and have lost their taste.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Tanja - Loughcrew ^club

Schönen Dank, Tanja! Früher gab's mal Poster mit Gewürzcollagen, die hatte ich im Hinterkopf:-) Am besten finde ich den Gewürzduft, wenn man das Zeug trocken in der Pfanne anröstet, herrlich!

This is a super collection. My wife would love it. Great shot.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Gary Schotel ^club

Thanks a lot, Gary! I simply can't imagine having to make do with just pepper and salt;-)

7 years ago.

autofantasia ^club

I must admit Gudrun that I hardly recognise any of these so I'm so pleased you included a list. The stars of the show for me must be the coriander seeds, cardamom pods, black mustard seeds and the allspice.

However, the overall image is the real winner ... a collage that would look at home in any cookery book or printed large and hung on your kitchen wall ... brilliant! :)

7 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to autofantasia ^club

Many thanks, Paul! Many years ago posters with collages were all the rage, I remembered that when the challenge came up. I like that you can easily buy spices now, my grandmother knew just pepper and paprika;-)

7 years ago.

autofantasia ^club has replied to Gudrun ^club

To be fair, I think my knowledge until this challenge was almost as limited as that of your grandmother - lol! ;)

Back to the collage, I'm intrigued how you created this one or which software you used ... I love the framing! :)

7 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to autofantasia ^club

Making the collage was dead easy, I use Picasa for that. You just feed in the photos and there are various options for how the collage looks and all sorts of options for size, width and colour of background etc. The drawback is that you have to take what the programme offers.
Most other edting prgrammes also do collages.

7 years ago.

autofantasia ^club has replied to Gudrun ^club

Thanks for the info Gudrun. Guess I need to go check out Picasa or look more closely at the software I already have! :)

7 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to autofantasia ^club

Photoshop Elements can do collages though I never tried. I don't know about PS, in Lightroom it's possible with a workaround which isn't very comfortable. Picasa is basic but very easy, you can also create slideshows and do some simple post processing and effects.

Many thanks, Rabbit! It wasn't that bad, just setting up the camera and tripod and filling and refilling a small bowl with the various spices.

christel.k ^club

eine sehr aufwendige Collage, Gudrun, fantastisch!

7 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to christel.k ^club

Herzlichen Dank, Christel! Der größte Aufwand war, das Schüsselchen jedesmal neu zu befüllen und die Kamera scharf zu stellen- und die Gewürze aus Vorräten nachzufüllen bzw. eine Einkaufsliste zu machen, welche Gewürze ich nachkaufen muss;-)
