Still life with antique mirror...


I found this lovely little antique mirror a while ago and thought it would be fun to include it in a still life IF I could figure out how to keep myself and too much background detail from reflecting in the mirror.  It's all in finding the right angle to shoot from! 
I like the texture that the little wicker covered demijohn adds to the still life, and the pop of color in the red/orange berries.

I used a dark and moody preset when editing the photos, which seems appropriate for a rainy day indoor photoshoot!

    I really like your still life of vintage finds. I have the same trouble with photographing mirrors and picture frames. The glass reflects too much. Good job!

    I love the little bits of scattered leaves in the foreground. That's a lovely touch.

    I do like that and I agree about the pop of color the red berries give.

    I love this still life. Seeing the wonderful mirror you bought when we shopped together and the other things you put with it made me smile. You are always an inspiration to me, dear friend.
