Portrait 344

Day 344 of 365

"Still Life 344"

 

Today's image came to me when I realized that the trout I purchased the other day should be eaten very soon. I knew it could not be consumed until it had been exposed....to the lens....lens.....lens. I initially had it set on the black Plexiglass with my homemade brown canvas in the background. It was the traditional way to shoot it, and I actually did first photograph it in this manner. At the last moment, I decided to move the camera higher and shoot down on our little friend. While I'm not sure I made the correct decision, I definitely made A decision. Thinking of the great Dutch painters, I put a large Octa bank at camera-left, mimicking a window. I placed the edible props around our subject, and came away with this image. One fish, one light, one smelly piece of Plexiglass. Thanks for not turning up your nose!!
