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).
Although I don't shoot "still life" images often, I love the art in doing them. This is my latest attempt.
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....
I love the outcome of this image impressed with nice colours and depth of field.
thanks for every one for views, faves, and comments.
These prickly pear flowers are vibrant and come in various colors, usually blooming in spring and summer, adding beauty and softness to the prickly cactus. Have a beautiful and colorful Friday! 🌼
On/Off - Thank you very much for your visit and for taking the time to comment! Much appreciated!
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.
