Currently we are renovating and last weekend it was time to start work on the master bedroom. There was some demo work and then some new cornice and skirting boards, then some painting before the new builtin wardrobe was installed. There was one day before the builtin work was to be done (thank goodness for public holidays) so I took the opportunity to set up an indoor photo-shoot.
When I was setting it up I had a brilliant idea that the room could become my bonsai workroom but apparently that was not my best idea ever according to the boss!!!!!
Anyway, here are a couple of photos taken on my one and only day.

Hi Watto,
Some really beautiful trees there in some really nice pots I love the pot in the first image.
To bad about not being able to make the room your bonsai studio those tree definitely deserve there own space.

Re: Tokonoma for a Day
Surely the 'boss' could appreciate the import of such a space to capture the timeless.?



The Photons did it!

Re: Tokonoma for a Day
Bedroom -v- Bonsai studio it was an easy question for me but alas...........
I confess I didn't have a table of the correct size to take "proper" photos including Soi's, I was lucky enough to just a few photos done.

Re: Tokonoma for a Day
I’ll give you the scoop .... my wonderful wife puts up with a lot from me... if I started to use our bedroom as a bonsai studio ... Nup, game over! 
Good luck with the renovation and on the pics - no.12 stands out for me.

At first I looked at the photo and thought, well, that's how people come out so nice to take a picture of their bonsai, but I don't. And then I saw that this is just how you approach it! You are a pro in Bansai photography!
