Ode to an old tool box

Contribution for The Sunday Challenge #404: Knolling

Contribution for The 50 Images-Project: Still Life 41/50

Because man need ~~toys~~ tools! =D

To lit the setting, I used a bright light therapy lamp reflected from the white ceiling and walls. Using a camera remote control app on smart phone was very helpful.

On notes (PiPs) there are some old shots of mine to show how inspiring tools can be ;-)

Well, I am not so sure if I am a handyman =D
But tools are at least nice prop used at photography ;-)

I really like the way you have chosen to display the tools diagonally, Sami. You always think outside the box. You'd certainly be a handyman for DIY with this toolbox. ;-)

Thank you, Amelia =)

The idea indeed became from that linked image taken by Jim Golden ;-)
Without seeing that I probably would not even considered it. What I like on this kind of approach is especially the so called "military (oblique) perspective":

In my own opinion, not a "Masterpiece" material, and not enough "Strong Colors" ;-)

* ઇଓ * ^club has replied to Sami Serola (inactiv… ^club

You did it better than you might think,
and almost all colors are strong as each of them has an effect on us.
So don't hide your light under a bushel and dare to do, Sami. ;)

I like the diagonal arrangement and your PiPs! You have quite a few tools, more than I have;-)

Sami Serola (inactiv… ^club has replied to Gudrun ^club

Thank you, Gudrun =)

As you noticed, and also Wertti (Wierd Folkersma) mentioned, there are IKEA tool(s). Actually number of them. So, sort of tools needed only once. But often the human nature makes us hoard! =D

Gudrun ^club has replied to Sami Serola (inactiv… ^club

Haha, I also have plenty of IKEA tools- you either have one essential bit missing or way too many when you buy something;-)

Great work, including the creative detail-PiP’s! I think you’ve chosen a brilliant arrangement of the toyls and perfect perspective, the box give a fine 3D-effect.

And thanx for the link to Jim Golden - never seen before! :-)

Yes, that "military perspective" example on Jim Golden's collection really inspired me!
