Still Life by maggiemae

Still Life

I looked at a chopping board I had with a nice still life picture on it and sought to use the same subjects. Of course it included a glass of red wine which John thought was a good idea!


This shot looks really good on the Black....


Three good things”
1. I bought some nice fruit for this picture that I don’t normally include in my weekly groceries!… peach, feijoa, apricot and grapes - not NZ but seedless and firm.
2. The wine is called ‘Kindred’ which I thought was rather nice. Is a Shiraz by Allegiance wines and holds a gold medal. Not a NZ one but Australian.
3. Having a real calendar when you flip over to a new month - real paper!
What a beautiful still life...the wine is the icing on the cake

@seattlite There's no chocolate in there, though, Gloria!

This picture could have come straight out of some famous art gallery! You got the style & richness beautifully!

@happypat Even had our local cheese there - a Whitestone Camembert, Pat! The fruit came from everywhere - Chili, Australia Central Otago, Philippines!

A really beautiful still life capture...I agree with Pat & the richness of color is great. FAV

Such a beautiful composed still life , makes my mouth water !
March 18th, 2017  
Great still life... what happened to the glass of wine after this shot was taken... ?? ..
March 18th, 2017  
Composition, lighting, balance are superb (at least one piece seems to be airborne!)...and as mellow as an Old Dutch Master.
March 18th, 2017  
Excels on black!
March 18th, 2017  
@julzmaioro Do I really have to answer that question, Julia?
March 18th, 2017  
@s4sayer Thanks Margo - might put that in the comments above!. That airborne look is the side and back lighting reflecting under the dish!
March 18th, 2017  
TYF explanation, I should have realised the dish was glass. Most effective.
March 18th, 2017  
@maggiemae No I don't think so... lol

Maggiemae, I think you have photographed one of my favorite meals, seductively no less.
March 19th, 2017  
@daweenie Well, thats got to be good for you- red wine, cheese and fruit to follow!
March 19th, 2017  
@pixiemac I think low key looks better with wine and cheese - you can't see my husband stealing up on one side ready to pick at this scene!

Your lighting and use of it is so impressive
March 19th, 2017  
This one looks like a Masterpiece. should be on exhibit. fav.
March 20th, 2017  
incredible lighting. i must apologize, for the last several days a couple of people were playing catch up with their albums so your photos and the others must've got buried. i love the lighting you employed here. it does look like a master's still life.
March 20th, 2017  
@summerfield You are right about the catch ups! I get rather impatient and scroll right past I'm afraid!
March 20th, 2017  
@maggiemae - i scroll past, too, but with two or three doing it at the same time, i feel like it's never going to end. i get up and do something else and then come back for more catch ups and then i just give up. most of the time, i just pick random names in my head and yours and katy always come up first. it's probably why I'm not getting a lot of comments, because i just have so little time to comment back. but i know you understand and that eventually i'll make it over to your album. thanks for understanding, my friend.
March 20th, 2017  
I love this "Old Master" and I'll raise a glass of red to your cat.
March 20th, 2017
