What a lovely image, exactly what I had in mind for the 'Begins with a B...' challenge. Never did it though, basicly because of a lack of attributes. Really wonderful, that ancient atmosphere, the light. Great shot!
Oh what a lovely collection of interesting things to have - there is so much to look at that I feel very invited to visit. The wall hanging is of a type I have seen before with each square outlined in yarn and you lit it so well that it only adds and doesn't take away a bit from all that is in front of it - just a treat to view.
I wondered about light painting, too - this is just lovely. The warm tones work perfectly with the vintage set-up. The backdrop might be a little busy for me.
You certainly manage to create a nice mood in your photographs. In this still life, there is a good cohesion, a beautiful composition with a few eye catchers (clock, glasses, books) that guide my eye through the picture. Well done!
This is the best one yet! I have a question...the darkness of your vintage images seems consistent, the contrast is good even in ambient light, so I'm thinking you're doing this on purpose. Am I right? You are getting really good at it.
