Today on G+ is SacredSunday. There are many themes for each day of the week and I try to contribute when I can because it’s great to get the feedback on images and to continue learning. I didn’t have much to contribute today but I remembered the great ideas so many others always have. Many times the images are created with the smoke from incense, flowers and vases around the house, etc. They always have such great ideas and I have never been able to really put things together like this, so today was my day!
I tried to think of what I had around my studio that would work for this theme and how to mix and match to make a great 
photo and something that would work.
I have this great little bistro set I purchased a while back that has some words and sayings painted on the top of the table and stools that say “Everything grows with love”, and “a dream is a wish the heart makes”. I thought this was very inspirational and would work….so now how do I make it even more perfect for a sacred sunday…something that will make it pop. Thinking I remembered my necklace that I always wear, people tend to think it’s a cross. It’s actually a cut out from a spoon and is a dragonfly but the wings do make it look like a cross. I took it off and put it on the bistro set to see if it would work. I was quit impressed with what I had put together!
With the cross from the necklace the wonderful inspiration from the set it was perfect! I moved the necklace around between the words, on the stool, on the table, etc. I took about 50 images using my NikonD7000 and my Nikkor 105MM macro lens. Using this lens gave great clarity to the images but was so tight on the subject that I found myself standing on the bistro set to get some distance.
I think the images turn out rather well. This just goes to show that with anything you have on or around you current location you can make great images and things that will not only inspire others, but yourself as well. If you have tried this before, post some links so that others can be inspired by your story. If you have not tried this, then go out and try it today, don’t wait for something great, make something great!
