Weekly Photo Challenge: Inside
I shot these this evening specifically for this challenge – in(side) the house, and even more precisely in(side) the lounge … All were shot between 9 and 9.15pm using only natural light (that is, no flash). I used a 50mm f1.4 and 70-200mm f2.8 lens.
The challenge I’ve set myself for these weekly challenges is that if I have to delve into my archives I won’t play … I want to shoot all-new photos every week … Enjoy.
Lights on the wall (bought on sale from Woolworths)
An old clock on the book-case
A photo, a frame and my grandfather’s last hat
A giraffe keeping two long-necked candles company
Candles in an alcove
A family of elephants all in a row (shot at f1.4 for minimum depth of field)
Reading material (or is that writing material?)

They called me weed
I have been blogging here since around April 2011 - my little place on the blogosphere to express myself creatively. As a teenager I used to write a diary - in fact, as a 17-year-old living in Belgium, I wrote religiously every day. Fortunately the Internet didn't exist back then because my ramblings as a teenager were ever-so-slightly dark, cynical and depressing. You won't find much of that here. Also, mostly, I try not to get too deep or philosophical in this forum - I'd like my photography to uplift and inspire, and, where I can, I try to bring a bit of humour into my writing too. I've been fortunate enough to travel extensively and have made many friends across the globe. This is my spot to keep in touch with them.
These are all beautiful! Love the candles and elephants. Kudos for the rule you set for yourself on playing…I’m just a beginner in photography, so it may be a while yet before I set the same rules for myself.
Beautiful pictures, Each picture is beautiful in it’s own way. Still these last twos are my favorites.
Love the elephants!
Who the heck has such an amazing collection of books????????????????? I am VERY jealous.
That would be my brother… But he really doesn’t have many books.
reading material = paradise…
Je pense que si tu me prends et que tu me laisses là un an, seule, je ne m’ennuierai pas
Hello Robin. First of all thank you for commenting on my inside shot ( I will leave you a reply on that on my post
. Secondly, your photos are great and we have something in common.. I also want to take fresh pics for the challenge – and make a challenge what it should be… an incentive to get my butt of my couch and do things 
. You know what .. my next post (if I publish it – for Sunday post challenge. collectibles) will look a lot like this post of yours 
It does not mean that I am stealing your idea – it is something I had been thinking of this morning before entering your blog 
Very nice to meet you! Paula
just love that stack of books
These are all wonderful but I especially love your grandfather’s hat.. that’s just so touching.
I agree with Hilary. Love the grandfather’s hat. Also like the clock and the bookcase.
All beautifully constructed images – but I love the elephants!
