Low key still life of bob cat skull and hellebore. Having fun playing with different light sources, colours, and shadows.
The bob cat undoubtedly died of natural causes, as the skull was found in the middle of the woods.

"A tiny little taste of belladonna
Just a hint of henbane in the wine
All you acolytes of aconitum
Hemlock in the honey is divine"

My county banned fireworks this year. I was briefly hopeful that I’d actually get sleep as a result.
Clearly, I have too much faith.
Happy National Insomnia Day, America!

I wasn’t able to get the sorts of shots I really wanted of this once since my party was deciding to zoom along in a less photo friendly manner all of a sudden, but it had to be at least ten feet high and twenty feet long.
Maybe longer.
It was truly impressive.

The first picture was a classic portrait, lightened with age, stern faced and solemn as such things tended to be. The consecutive pictures were all clearly posed, the figure looking at the camera, but you could see the room behind him in each one and, in some, a halo around him. Even the last picture, which was in colour.
“Phantom photographs were very popular in the era of seances. It’s all tricks, of course. Double exposures and such, the Photoshop of the era.”
It was a reasonable explanation, but standing in the drafty manor house, listening to the floorboards creak as if someone was walking on them, one had to wonder...
-
After taking a silly little ‘who would you be in a period drama’ test and getting ‘The Manor Ghost’, my cousin and I went to Thornwood Manor for a silly, super informal photo shoot, then I played with the results.

“shifting shapes and flying dreams
love is never what it seems
wears another skin by day
be his love and not his prey
Who, who, who is it dares to seek the sun
and still want more?
How, how, how can you trust that he'll
open up his wings to hold you,
leave you brighter than you were before? “
- Were-Owl, S.J. Tucker
