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.

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 ... ;-)))

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
