Every so often I make something that looks tops in real life, but ends up strangely challenging to photograph. Bunting has always been tough for me. I tried our clothesline. But as renters, our backyard is less than picturesque and we have daggy shell coloured concreate walls throughout the house. Any tips?
perhaps a trip to a local park and string it between some trees or swings?
ReplyDeleteNice weather permitting :)
Wrap it around something that approximates a Christmas tree shape, or lay it on the table and fold it back and forth, then shoot just the middle (that description maybe didn't make sense).
ReplyDeleteNot sure whether you have any of these items available to you but.....
ReplyDeleteacross the front of a cot
in front of a fireplace
along an old wooden fence or old wooden gate????
Hopefully something there helps or jogs your memory for somewhere else.

Oh, I have images of this stuff hanging off monkey bars or on a gazebo in a park! I also love the idea of it photographed along a white picket fence. Unfortunately none of these could be done easily at home. Good luck - I can imagine how great they must look!
ReplyDeleteI was going to say go for a wander around the neighbourhood and find a nice old wood fence to hang it from

ReplyDeleteHow about strategically draped across something, like the back of a chair, your headboard etc?
ReplyDeleteyo Amy. you have a beach full of sand down the road from you...maybe drape it across the sand or use something down there like the metal railings or the graffiti wall !!
