Have you ever heard of a sweep stand?
For me, a sweep stand is a gorgeous thing. Since when I got it, my life has been one sunny, happy place. It is one of my most favorite photography tools.
I used it to create a background in all the pictures that you can see in the photo-mix above.
This is what my sweep stand looks like ‘naked’.
Recently I was working on a banner for my shop.
In the end I realized I could really use a border around the whole picture.
So I searched a little and have put together this very easy method.
I though I’d share it with you because sooner or later information like this usually comes in handy.
This is going to be a slightly different post, I admit. Slightly different than all my teddy bear, cooking and traveling madness I usually do.
Anyway, this is what I experienced in the past few days.
And it was fun.
The fact is that I got invited into a printing company to make a few pictures. This has been the first job of this particular kind for me – normally it’s hard to get me out of my house. But it seems that sometimes you just have to go.
The good thing was that the whole project involved taking a lot of pictures – which I love most. And another good thing was that the company is owned by my boyfriend’s sister, so I didn’t feel super stressed out.
Just a little less than that.
There were interesting processes that I needed to concentrate on.
So I did.
Along the way, I really enjoyed learning about the particular machines.

Blowing bubbles can be real fun.
Especially if you take your camera with you and find that dear special someone who’ll assist you in this exciting game and will make bubbles for you.
Furthermore, it is a great exercise for your shooting skills. I know it because that is how me and my man spent all afternoon yesterday.
Try it!
It’s awesome.
Love,
Petra

I’ve always been a big fan of ‘before and after’ comparisons.
Don’t you just like them too?
They are so much fun to look at.
I like all sorts of them.
Whether the couple of pictures shows a face before and after makeup, a diet result or a cat before and after bathing, I love them all.
The pictures ‘before and after photoshop‘ being my most favorite, I guess.
Today, without further ado, I’ve decided to show the world my bundt cake’s before and after.
Though I am not sure whether the world is prepared for such an unveiling revelation.
Anyhow, here it is…
This is the original picture that came straight out of my camera.
