I got my inspiration today just by turning the tap on! I have been playing indoors as it isn't so much fun outside today. Had a lovely conversation with my Dad about the techniques he used to use for processing B&W film - cutting out shapes of paper to increase, decrease exposure on parts of the image. It is all so easy nowadays, and just as much like magic!
@leestevo doesn't it - although I can spend hours playing with photoshop and feel it is a bit like escaping to a dark room somewhere. thank you for your comment
Dodging & burning your Dad was doing - the hard way. Have you any of his pictures? Your apple picture is a beauty. The colour, the bubbles & reflections all combine so well.
@paulmann he tells me that most of the time he didn't have the patience for it but I remember being in the dark room (downstairs loo) with him whilst such things were attempted. Thanks for your appreciation of the apples - if I was on film, I would have run out of money shooting them!
Great shot.
