OK,I will bore you with another one from the same session. I used just one main WhiteLightning moonlight in a box and a five foot reflector for all of these still life shots. First time I have attempted this before, I felt quite pleased with the final results. And it was a fun day playing around.
The small desktop calendar dated 1942 last date 30th October, was found when my parents died. It was amongst a lot of other stuff from my Fathers Father. I shipped a load of stuff back here from England then, not knowing of what significance this calendar had. It turned out to be the day my Grandfather died and it must have been on his desk. I found a treasure trove of things relating to this great man, including letters from the government to him regarding chemistry suggestions he made during World War One, regarding extracting tar from coal to produce rubber for the war effort, oil shipments were being sunk by the Germans creating serious shortages at the time.
Anyhow I thought someone might have asked the question, so there it is.

Took this during dinner at our house on New Year’s Eve 2020. This dear lady is so photogenic, we talked about Charles Chaplins reaction on board his ocean liner, when told of his citizenship being revoked. He made a similar gesture as this, looking like the devil horned !!!
Anyhow it was taken with Hasselblad 150mm lens, a quick click that captured her fun side.

Market in Otovalo, Ecuador June 2005. Same lens as before, Carl Zeiss 21/4.5 on Contax IIa, Fujicolor 100. It rained buckets about 2 minutes after I took this photo.
