When I was on spring blog break, one of the things I did was convert an unused bedroom into a photo studio/arts and crafts room. I want a space where I can practice my photography year round no matter the weather. I also built myself a lightbox , which will be great for doing things like this:
I’ve been having fun photographing scenarios with miniature figures. I hope to put together many more over time, which will accomplish two things: 1) I’ll get plenty of practice with photography and 2) I’ll have fun while doing it. I plan on creating quite a few imaginary scenes that I’ll share with you in the future. Hey, we all have to do something that makes us happy, right?
Right.
Well, since we're all here together, let’s get to this week’s funny stuff!
Wishing you all a beautiful day!
Happy Monday to you. Love the creative room you put together for yourself. And the light box is something I've been meaning to make for food shots but still haven't done it. It's such a great idea.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday and boogie boogie.
The light box would be a great idea for you. It's perfect for food photography, and for product photography! Get to it, girl! You'll love it.
DeleteI think I will love it. Because at night, it's a hassle to take shots.
DeleteJust finished shooting today's bakes. Haven't looked at them yet but hopefully, the light was bright enough.
Oh can't wait to see what you create - that photo's hilarious -
ReplyDeleteSo are your Monday laughs - love the hide and go seek cat - too cute!
Have a beautiful Monday yourself !

I'm waiting for some miniature figures to arrive in the mail and then off I go! Being silly is a great way to practice photography. Makes it fun to learn!
DeleteYou can make all kind of photos with that set up!
ReplyDeleteYou bet! I made a couple of lightboxes, so I can always have a spare.
DeleteI love the miniature figures photo - so awesome! Happy Monday :)
ReplyDeleteThey will be fun photo shoots. That's for sure!
DeleteGood selection!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed!
DeleteHi Martha....love your new project! Where do you get all your little people?
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see more!
enjoy your week.....
Cheers!
Linda :o)
There are many places to get little people from. If you're searching, google train models or scale figurines or miniature figures. Something like that. Also, check Ebay and Etsy.
DeleteLove that lightbox photo! Good laughs today!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed, Christine! We all need a good laugh now and then.
DeleteEnjoy your new work space, Martha, and welcome back!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It'll be a fun space to practice what I enjoy doing so much.
DeleteHave fun exploring your photography in a new way! I loved the Mr. Potato head cartoon :) Happy Monday to you too!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed, Cathy! I really love starting my week with some laughs.
DeleteMartha,
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to now have your own photography studio.and lightbox (loved that first shot)
You take great photos now and now you can enjoy photography all the more.
The last photo really is so funny as I had a friend that was always telling her cat, 'get down' haha, it never worked ....
Thanks for the laughs.
Happy, good Monday to you.
xx
No, it never works with cats! It seems I never learn either...
DeleteIt will be great having a place to be creative in. Winters are long here, and sometimes very hard, so an indoor location will be fun. Rainy days, too!
The 'birds on a wire' one cracked me up! Good way to start this week. Thanks Martha.
ReplyDeleteHappy to oblige, Jim! I have to keep you all laughing.
DeleteI adore your idea of creating your wolrd, I love it, I use to have a macro world and I loved it ah where imagination can take us, it's fantastic, I can't wait to see yours, and as always thanks so much for the chuckles
ReplyDeleteHaving fun with the camera is such a great way to learn more about photography. I like to try new things, and this should be an interesting and fun project!
DeleteAll hilarious as always. And no, i can't imagine taking any of our kitties for a walk. Lol. The looks i'd get! Glad your snow is melting!
ReplyDeleteMy cats would behave that way if I tried walking them! It would be quite hilarious.
DeleteSo funny ~ especially the Canadian driveway one! If I had a dollar for every Canadian driveway I shoveled, I could stay at the Royal Hawaiian instead of the Royal Grove. LOL! But I love the Royal Grove! It's real! Have a good week, Martha!
ReplyDeleteIf you spend enough time in Canada, you can easily become an Olympic champion in snow removal! Hahaha...
DeleteWell, happy Monday to you. The weekend was pretty laid back here. I've got to change that. I enjoy your cartoons. Keep them coming.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as the weather is a tad better, the weekends will get busier for me, too...outdoors! I'm certainly looking forward to it!
DeleteGood selection. Have to laugh at a number of these.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed!
DeleteYou cat cartoons are a scream :)
ReplyDeleteCats, for all their arrogant attitudes, are such goofballs!
DeleteCat cartoons are always my favourite!
ReplyDeleteMe, too. I love them because they are so true.
DeleteI've only seen a cat on a leash once
ReplyDeleteI've never seen one, but it would be interesting!
DeleteHow did I miss this post? I tell you … my blog has been acting really weird the last couple of days … I've had people write me that they have missed two days of posts! and now I'm seeing posts that I have missed because my blog roll didn't update!
ReplyDeletewhatever…
Is that really your kitty in the black and white? I mean.. you're such a wonderful photographer that … well at any rate. how adorable! HAaaaa damn cats! love the memes…
AND love your creative room! what a great thing to do for yourself….
No, that's not my kitty; although it could be because she does stuff like that. Mine is pure black; not another mark on her.
DeleteI love my little room, and I'm so happy I did that. The room was just sitting there doing nothing; at least now it'll be used.
