This is for a Utata Iron Photographer, (at least one straight edge, a reflective surface a body part.)
It's also a tart filled with chocolate and blackberry ganache. (I love that word)
It was an opportunity to use up sweet-pastry that was left over after mince pie making, and blackberry Jelly that my friend Jo had made.
Making it helped me get over the flu, and it's an easy and very grown up dessert to take with us tonight.
Happy New Year folks, I know that all problems can't be solved with chocolate and cream, but it can be a very good place to start.
Iron Photographer 12 has these three elements:
1 - one or more body parts
2 - at least one straight line
3 - something shiny
The body part can be any segment of the human body except the head or face. It can belong to the photographer or somebody else. There can be more than one body part. But it's just a part of the body; not a big chunk. A shoulder, a foot, an elbow.
The straight line is a straight line. A line that's straight. Not very complicated, this element.
The final element, something shiny is also pretty self-explanatory. It should, however, be an independent element and distinct from the other two. For example, the shiny object should NOT be either the straight line or the body part.
Here's the standard Iron Photographer reminder: all IP photographs should be new images, not images pulled from your archives. The purpose of IP is to challenge you to create new art.
