NF-SOOC-2017 Day 28: Nuts and Crackers! by vignouse

NF-SOOC-2017 Day 28: Nuts and Crackers!

At least 2 or 3 times a month I find myself sitting at the dinner table with the evening going fast and not a single picture taken that day. What I usually do is take some pictures of Mrs S sitting opposite me and/or whatever is on the table. Tonight I found myself staring at a bowl of local chestnuts and walnuts... now you can stare at them too ;-))

This is for Day 28 of my annual NF-Sooc-September challenge: a month of sooc pictures taken with a 50mm lens or its equivalent for crop-sensor cameras. You can read all about it here - https://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/30294/nf-sooc-september-2017 It is also for street -37.

Marginally more acceptable viewed on black!
Now being the total opposite of you I seldom post pictures on the day I take them. I tried it but hated the results - of course I was working full time then. Anyway I am thinking of going out for a sunset tonight so have a nice night cap and think of me watching the sun set - if it cooperates. But that will be approaching my bed time so I probably won't post any I take. I have a backup ready to go. Taking a Sandwich to watch the sunset too. Wish I could take some wine to drink but it is a drive. Not a long drive only going to Lake Estes.

Wonderful on black. I'm like Joan, I usually post photos taken the day before

On black makes this shot pop...neat shapes, textures, lighting...I post the day after...that way I don't feel pressured and have more fun :).

Walnuts and chestnuts and wonderful old nutcrackers, nice fall back. I am trying to be better about shooting and posting the same day but not all pieces fall into place when needed bu,t try I still do. I have enjoyed this NF sooc challenge and played along with just a few exceptions. I have liked the self imposed limitations.

This was well spotted. I like the way the nuts fill the frame and the nutcracker is our leading line.

I like it - a lot! :-)

nice echo of the organic shapes of the nuts and the mechanical nut cracker chomping bits

VML seeing les clins d'œil of our daily lives. It's so easy to not see the photo opportunities therein.

This is just like my family tree. My family tree is full of nuts.

Very autumnal, nice warm tones and great textures.

A bit of tinsel and it can be a Christmas picture as well 🙂

Haha! I've had a great many of those days lately. But I just didn't take any photos.
