Still Life 3

Playing around with the impact that red items have on black and white today.
This is wonderful! Love the tones and textures. And the set up is fabulous Fav

I like the scene and processing.

I really like this one Ann!

Interesting to think about which ones were originally red, and what filters you used for color.

Lovely composition!

Beautiful still life! Arranged just perfectly and the softness of the background complements the items displayed.

This is an ageless capture. Great still life set up.

Love the Apple in this attractive composition

This is beautiful. I must try putting a still life together like this - before this part of the month's challenges ends!

Wonderful

nice one

that will be the red rooster then, and the impact depends on the colour slide yes? A lovely arrangement for your still life and full of texture and interest.

@taffy @helenhall Thank you Taffy and Helen- no slides or filters on this- just choosing items that were red or had more red than non-red. The apple, place mat, napkin and portions of the rooster were the "red" items. The candle holder could be said to have red undertones by the type of wood it's made out of (something from Southeast Asia but I'm not sure- teak????) and of course the garlic has none. Obviously the next play round would be to see if adding a red filter or playing with the sliders created more contrast but I really liked the way the light brought out a softer contrast between the red and non-red areas of the picture so I decided to let it be.

@wyomingsis I actually had to replace the background. In my small house it's impossible to set up something like this without another chair or outlet glaring in the background. This one was rather simple. The pov only included the portion of one chair which was easily cloned out and then a light texture added to cover over the spot. I was pleased with it. Glad you like it too. Thanks Jolene!

Awesome still life and black and white shot!! I love the Rooster...is it supposed to be a backscratcher? 😂
February 21st, 2020  
@cjphoto Thank you Chris! No, he's too small for that- he's about the size of Piggy.
February 21st, 2020  
@olivetreeann - Ahh I see...I saw his long feet and wondered the purpose. So fascinating.
February 21st, 2020  
@cjphoto Oh- they look good for scratching but it'd be hard to reach around the back with him! I think his feet are for balance. He's a fun little doo-dad I picked up in a yard sale for pennies!

Nice textures and side lighting.
February 21st, 2020
