lightbox pears by aecasey

lightbox pears

Kali pushed me "to do a stillife with fruit in black and white, try playing with different light sources, natural/electric, diffuse and harsh to bring out the form." Well ... this is a beginning. Pears on black background in a lightbox. I had looked at the artists she suggested, but I do struggle with setting up and composing still life images. So, still working on the different light sources part of the challenge.
Awesome picture.

Kali @kali66 Another attempt at the fruit still life with different light source part of the challenge. Yep, still needs "attitude."

This turned out great! Love the way the pears nestle in close to each other and yet are still well lit.

@naomi A light box is a cube with translucent sides that diffuses the light. I like it because it's also easy to set up the backdrops.

@aecasey that sounds exciting! It might be something to go on my list of 'things to buy one day when I somehow have money'...

@naomi You don't have to wait to buy one. You can make them. They are pretty inexpensive ... a cardboard box and some white tissue paper. I've made several, but my cats like to lay in them. Here's a quick youtube tutorial if you're interested: https://youtu.be/T6fnHEvLyAE
