TOOLS Particularly OLD tools cna make very interesting images as well as being a record of such items. First find some old tools. They can be a] Garden b] Engineering c] Kitchen d] Art e] Craft f] and probably many other CATEGORIES. Then arrange them imaginatively in a sort of STILL LIFE. Lighting for this needs to be controlled for direction, beam shape, colour and intensity. The Photographers Ephemeris [free] or Photo Pills can be used so you are able to predict how the sun will be on your subject. The Background will also require some thought. Try not to have a plain single colour. Sympathetic stripes or swirls. Maybe use coloured wrapping paper. Give your compositions Imaginative names. Take some time to mull over the naming of your work.
