Symmetry

 

Set up in the studio this Saturday morning to have a go at some symmetry ideas for this month's family photo challenge. This is a quick snap of the new pop-up tent which I put on a small picnic table so I could manoeuvre the tripod in position to allow the camera (when it was fitted onto the quick plate) to point through the hole in the top of the tent.

LED lights provide all round illumination, in different strengths and colours, i.e. a mix of warm & bright, or bright or warm. Different backdrops are also available in the set, white, black, grey and blue. More often than not the white or black are the most useful colours, I have a larger, similar tent which fixes together with Velcro seams and I don't think I have ever used anything other than the white and black backdrops in that one.

This particular tent poppers together which makes it easy to set up and put away, the bigger tent tends to remain set up as it's Velcro is rather cheap and very prickly thus making it both uncomfortable on one's fingers to take it apart plus the cheap Velcro tends to shed everywhere.

Got a few images I quite like and have also been perusing my extensive stash looking for ideas. Hopefully now that we are running the family challenges for a month instead of a week there may be some decent enough weather to get outside and take some base images. This weekend has unfortunately been wet and miserable, not to mention cold, and isn't due to improve until I'm back working again next week 😠 C'est la vie I guess.
