So Shimelle said 'Step away from your comfort zone'. Well, if I am honest, I prefer to take pictures of people. When I make a scrapbook page, it tends to be using photos of friends and family. So when my daughter hosted the surprise engagement party last night and I picked up my camera, I really wanted to take pictures of the girls but made myself concentrate on the 'things' that made up the party. Like the lovely OMG! balloon that has an engagment ring as the O. The cupcake serviettes, the chocolate and cheesecake muffins ... I'm not sure I would ever use this collage for a layout, but it was good to have a little play around and it does sum up the party. Although I would have liked to include a picture of the girlies ....{instead of accidentally using 2 of the same balloon picture }
But it is a great collage - and would work well as part of a two page layout of the party - girlies on one side, this collage and journaling on the other!
ReplyDeleteI love the shots you got of all the party paraphernalia...these are the things that fade from memot=ry in tiime!! I agree with Cheri that a combination of these with pics of the partygoers & lots of journalling about who said what & what gifts were given & by whom etc etc would make a fab double LO, if not a mini book!!! (pause for breath!! sorry I got carried away there!!) :)
ReplyDeletep.s. I've just noticed all my typo's!! Sorry...I was typing with enthusiasm so accuracy was compromised!!!
ReplyDeleteFood photography is definitely my comfort zone, yum :-)
ReplyDeleteI find that collage thing a tad frustrating sometimes - they reuse the early photos to complete the rectangular arrangement - wish you could tell Picasa how many rows and columns you want!
And, ditto all the above :-) Looking forward to seeing that layout/mini book... xx
It is a good assignment, isn't it?Great job figuring out how to stretch yourself.

lovely shots I must admit I always seem to take people but after seeing your shots I think I shall make an effert to capture the little things.
ReplyDeleteI love your collage, particularly the cupcakes pic,I think yopu soud definitely use it - lovely x
ReplyDeleteLike you I prefer to photograph people, you did a great job though. I have to ask where you got the bunting from, I'm going to be organising a baby shower for my daughter in a few weeks time and the pink bunting would be perfect!!
