Hey!

I created this photo for the upcoming Hive!

It was worth it! 😎 Even as I had to first search the whole day for the honey spoon (Finglish for "hunajalusikka", "honey dipper"), then to set up a makeshift studio for it in the kitchen. Vera helped me with the props as I clicked the shutter.

I hope Hive likes it! 🙂

Speaking of Hive, I would really find it fitting if the token on the blockchain would be called "Honey" or "Nectar", depending on whether it is powered up, or liquid.
In Finland, we have an idiom "maksaa hunajaa", which means that something is so expensive it costs honey.

The photo was taken with my Canon 550D and the 50mm Sigma Art 1.4 at F2.2, using a tripod and an external flash.

Here's the honey I bought for the same photoshoot:

It was weird that none of the shops that used to have honey dippers, now didn't have them. I had to spend a good part of the day hunting them all around Lahti. Eventually I did find one, at a flee market.

Since the dipper itself was more or less out of focus (too wide aperture), I am going to have to try this set up again one of these days. But at least the honey is in focus. 🤣
Anyhow, I'm hungry, gonna eat and then read to the boys. We are now reading Earth Sea by Ursula le Guin.

See you Tomorrow!
