Photography 101. Todays assignment: Treasure

Hmmm, tricky!

Another one that got me really thinking, because my idea of treasure is quite off the wall.

My wife despairs of the collection of random things that I class as “treasure.” Things like pieces of rock from geological sites that I have visited, a sliver of wood from Mametz on the Somme, a pebble from a Cornish beach, a button from an old uniform, a feather from the first pheasant one of my gun dogs retrieved.

It’s all very random and apart from my emotional attachment, frankly worthless, but that’s the essence of it to me, emotional treasure is priceless!

So whilst pondering today’s task I discovered my latest treasure as we did the rounds of our animals this morning. The first goose egg and the first duck egg of the season, magic and something to really treasure!

They make quite a nice side lit photo as well.

Just for scale this is a shot of the goose egg next to a normal size pen, you’ll need big toast soldiers for this one!

I bet my friend Lili could use these in one of her wonderful cakes!

Catch you all soon.
