Window shots are tricky, trying to get the right time of day (enough light), the right weather (not too much glare), the right moment (no distracting cars), all to focus on what's in the window and not in the shop behind or reflected from the street.
+
The first shot is during the middle of the day, overcast, with my new clip-on polariser filter that cuts reflections somewhat but only if you're at a 90 degree angle to the direction of the sun. I've also edited out the circles of the lights in the ceiling and made the image darker so the reflections don't overwhelm everything.
+
I took the second shot without the lens and have done the same editing.
+
The third photo I took at around 5pm and have left in the down lights. I edited to increase the contrast and colour saturation a little.
+
If you've got any tips on photographing window displays I'm happy to hear them!

Stacks of new washi tapes just arrived for the gift wrappers, crafters and journalers. Can you spot the mini coin purses? One of those is going straight in the shop tape dispenser! I feel like it was made for me.
+
I've put some of these on the website and more are in store.

Oh yum! minski++ is now stocking matcha chocolate covered strawberries and almonds as well as matcha from .co 🍓🍵
+
The matcha is available in two grades, ceremonial for the best drinking experience, and premium for everyday drinking and adding to food. Both types are grown in Kyoto, Japan, but follow different harvesting and grinding methods resulting in variance in flavour and colour. Think of it like wine. 💚

Whimsical, useable and oh so giftable. A fresh batch of South Australian artist Isabel Lopes's ceramic works has arrived!
