Another attempt to get some Rembrandt style lighting. Made with homemade David X. Tejada style beautydish. Done with my trusty Canon 10D, ST-E2 transmitter and Canon 550EX flash. Flash at camera left, but you already figured that part out!
The great thing about using food for still life photography is if the models don't cooperate, just eat 'em. Then run in a batch of new ones from
( insert favorite supermarket here).
First blossom just coming out. This here is a pear tree - 'Invincible'. Hopefully we'll get some pears this year because they are delicious, tis a young tree and we've only had a handful so far. I managed to find a window in yesterdays rain and grabbed this photo :^)

Spent the day playing with this one, making subtle changes to tone and texture, thought I'd better upload it so I can get something else done :-)
I was in Starbucks last week warming up, and saw an elderly couple sitting outside. The man was peeling a pear with a knife and his hands looked so interesting to me. I had my telephoto lens on my camera and took a shot through the window. To me, hands speak of loving, caring, working, eating, playing and so much more....
Tofu looks quite round in this photo but unlike his big sister Cleo he can rightly claim that it's only fur. He has lost a lot of fur in the last weeks already and this is now his summer coat but he is still amazingly fluffy.
I took this shot with a vintage Canon T80 film camera + AC-50mm f1.8 with Kodak 400ASA film. I photographed these pears with multiple cameras one rainy day a few months back - it's raining today, so I thought it was an appropriate time to post this image.
Gymnosporangium sabinae is the fungus that causes pear rust. It has an unusual life cycle because it needs both juniper and pear to develop. On pear leaves, it produces bright orange to red spots that are often very striking. On juniper, it can form swollen infected areas that persist for more than one season. In spring, infected juniper tissue produces orange gelatinous spore masses, and these spores go on to infect pear trees. The disease can reduce photosynthesis and may be especially stressful for young trees.
Couldn't make up me mind so thought I'd post this as well .... as I like experimenting I might try converting to black and white too.
First "painting" using the watercolor brush in Rebelle for the Mac. Very close to the real thing in spread, blending and drying. There are pastel, pencil, ink, acrylic, marker and airbrush tools to simulate those media.
