Ceramic shoot in deepest Kent

I went to Kent with a couple of ceramic pots to see if I could shoot them in a natural landscape. It was harder than I thought, the weather was freezing and although there was good sun it was difficult to get the light I wanted to use. The pots were very small compared to the huge expanse of fields available as a backdrop and I was using a zoom lens so that made it harder to show the detail of the pot in focus as I had to be a certain distance away.

I found this old chair and dragged it into the sun. I like the way the missing plank gives the pot a natural resting place, making it look fragile and solid at the same time.

WIll the sheep investigate this visitor to their field? (no)

I placed the pot, then stepped well away and hoped that I could capture the sheep sniffing the pot out of curiosity. They weren't at all interested, so I had to settle for this rather strange shot of a two eyed pot being ignored by a distant flock of sheep.

These weren't supposed to be humorous, but when I looked at them later, I found them to be full of character. The pot came alive during the shoot and had its own personality.

A molehill finally comes in useful. I like these two shots a lot, and this bowl contrasts beautifully with the green grass.

This was a cold shoot that took about 40 minutes. I will wear my new cashmere fingerless gloves next time, I wondered what the point of fingerless gloves was, but I can see that they would have been great today instead of the ski gloves that I had to keep removing.
