This week I got to merge my love of photography with my love of artisan bread baking. ***bread was consumed quickly after the photoshoot was completed!!!***
CC welcomed!
Your inspiration this week is Still Life. A couple of pieces of fruit on a table won’t impress in the advanced challenge though… so really be creative.

It occurred to me one day while cutting raw broccoli that I'd never seen a still life with broccoli, and a flickr search confirmed that there weren't too many nice photos of broccoli to be found. I thought I would give it a try. CC welcome.
This was my first attempt at merging two photos in PS so that I could get both foreground and background in the shot. The book in the background is an amazing retelling of the Cupid and Psyche myth.

a.k.a. A couple of pieces of fruit on a table.
Dogwood week 9: Still life
After weeks of experimentation, my result is "just a couple of pieces of fruit on the table," well... hopefully a bit more than that (or less, given the pieces that have been cut off).
Took quite a bit of slicing to get this all to this strict checker-board arrangement. Long enough for one of my flashes to run out of power, accidentally resulting in a much better lighting that gives the image some depth.

Week 9 : Still Life
My 4 year old is obsessed with rescues. He always leaves his pants pushed down over his boots (like the real fireman), so he is ready for action in a moment's notice.
This is my personal arsenal. They are all old motorless prime lenses I've bought after selling my motorized Canon ones. They were built between the 70's and the 80's and they are sharper than nowadays lenses.

My wife was making fondant from scratch for the 1st time and I loved all the vibrant colours that I saw while she was working. I grabbed my camera quick before she cleaned up. ;)

This week's #dogwood2017 challenge was a tough one for me. It said to go beyond the basics and really be creative, but I found basic quite challenging enough.

Week 9 – Artistic - Still Life
My Cherry Tomatoes
The brief for this week was as follows;
Artistic – Still Life: Your inspiration this week is Still Life. A couple of pieces of fruit on a table won’t impress in the advanced challenge though… so really be creative.
Work is really getting in the way of my photography at this point but fortunately the week 9 challenge can be done at or around the home.
Given that I have been working on a vegetable garden I thought I would use some of the early produce in the image. These are some Cherry Tomatoes that I've grown and they taste amazing. So juicy and full of flavour.
Whilst this isn't the most exciting or artistic of images to the outsider, it is to me because I have hand grown the subject and thats an art and creative in itself :)
