Get Pushed Challenge #590
My partner this week challenge me to take a beautifully lit still life of an object/some objects you own but don't use. I have a lot of pewter that I have been given in the past. I really don't use them often and it's been a very long time. The sun got bright where I set this up so the lighting was a bit uneven, even though I used bracketed exposure compensation settings.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Jackie, hope this is acceptable. The natural light didn't want to cooperate. Thank you for the challenge. I did have a hard time figuring out what objects to use.
I think the light is the best part of this! Not to say the rest isn't great. A perfect subject for the season and set up just right but the light gives the appearance of an old masters painting! FAV
I agree with Katy about the light. And I like how you've placed the fabric on the table. I think the uneven light works here; it gives it a bit mystery and antique quality which I think even light might not have done.
As others have said, the dappled light seems very appropriate. For me, there’s an air of mystery here. The one piece set so far from the other two makes me think of those absent from the table this year.
(A few years ago I visited the Royal Selangor pewter factory in Malaysia. Fascinating!)
Thank you one and all for the lovely comments and for putting this on the Trending Page. Some things one just cannot control and the light yesterday was one of them.
