Dogwood Week 6
Candy, or sweets as we would say over this side of the pond, was this weeks challenge and for me, the hardest so far.
Candy for me were washing machine manufacturers who at one point in the early nineties sponsored Liverpool F.C. But I quickly moved away from the idea of taking pics of a washing machine or of John Barnes and tried to think of something interesting to shoot.
We have been trying to post on a wednesday and at 8 pm I had nothing, so I went to the local garage and bought jelly tots, skittles and a wham bar. I ate the wham bar and came up with the idea of skittle rain. Could it be raining on someone or something? Why not superman? He may be just fast enough to escape skittle rain.
So I lay flat on the bathroom floor and lined up lego superman and his pal. I upped the shutter speed, chucked in some iso and then poured the skittles. Superman survived the deluge as expected.
Neil’s picture is based on a true event, the great smartie jar spillage of 1906. His cat is playing Elsie, the 5 year old protagonist and I think we will all agree that it is a wonderfully accurate portrayal.
