Still Life

[phigmov]

The one thread I could find for Still Life seems inaccessible so I figured I'd start a new thread.

Anywho, its hosing down with rain and we have gale force wind warnings tonight so I figured I'd pull out some white paper and a few odds and ends to shoot under lamp light with a minimum of messing around.

These are all with an E-P1, OM Zuiko f3.5 50mm Auto-Macro handheld. They're not great but its quite calming to shoot house-hold objects and looking at the play of light, shadow and colour as part of the composition.

Sort of

Still life with a slightly different slant that sits between still/abstract!

Did you end up blowing on the dandelion after the shot ?

The trashed flowers are great. Something about decay which adds an extra element.

 

[Iansky]

No I did not blow on the Dandelion, it took so long to get it so I could shoot without it moving/waving, I did not have the heart to blow it - the wind did pick even more soon after so I am sure it spread it's seeds far and wide.

I do tend to shoot images like these as I see them and as they appeal to me!

My white sketchpad and angle-poise lamp haven't seen so much attention in several years.

Different subject... I like finding still life scenes in industrial settings.

^^^ Those rust colours are awesome John. They go nicely with the red shoes and wooden spindle.

Sorry to make such a tasteless crack. I shouldn't make your photography the butt of jokes... seriously I feel like an ass...

I'll stop now...

I love the square crop but i'm struggling a bit with how much white space and shadow to leave in the surrounds.

Was hoping these Zespri were greener than they turned out to be.
