Still Life with Cotton Reels and Measuring Tape

Still Life with Cotton Reels and Measuring Tape
I wish I could take credit for putting this one together, but the truth is I found it exactly as you see it, hanging on a wall in a charity shop. It was part of a display and was not for sale...........but I was allowed to photograph it in situ.

Dimas Sequeira, aNNa schramm, trester88, Fred Fouarge and 21 other people have particularly liked this photo

Thanks Güni...........it's not often I get a still life shot without the trouble of thinking up a subject and setting it up etc :-))>

I was lucky to find it and lucky that the shop assistant allowed me to take a photograph.

What a find, Keith!
Ready for one of your creative, original still life.
It can be part of a display, no doubt, but you must have a special eye to see it as a photo and to capture it so well!

Bet that took whoever set it up a goodly while - I particularly like the vintage wooden cotton reels.
And if t'were mine I wouldn't let it go anywhere. Really nice they let you photograph it!
What I would do now is get that printed as a canvas ... ;-)))

Keith Burton club has replied to MaggsMep club
I expect you're right Maggie..........I'm guessing that it was one of the volunteers who does the window displays that set it up. I was just in the right place at the right time!

Glad you like it though........and thanks for dropping by.

It shows the same imagination as you do when making your close-ups Keith. A rather nice capture here saying it must have been 'off the cuff' . Well done.

Cheers. Herb
