mackerel

Whitechapel market has these amazing trays of fresh fish - and I was around there again on Monday. This is for the B&W Bookclub, looking at tone and form - there was also a tray of sardines that I liked, but I think this has the better tonal range. Both shots showed a good range across the histograms and a minimum of clipping (yes, I read the book) without any adjustments.

Thank you for your wonderful responses to Tower Bridge, for looking and commenting. You're all superstars.

[Shanne]

@janim white polystyrene box, white ice - I didn't do a lot to this PMSOOC-ish

[Keith Porteous]

I actually am almost annoyed you can make a box of dead fish look so good............:-)

[e.gad]

This does have a great tonal range and contrast. Fab find.

Lovely shape, tone and texture. Fish are good subject - not that I've photograpahed many, but I've certainly painted a few.

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Lovely catch

[Call me Joe]

A FAV!!!------w..h..a..t? I don't eat red meat ,only veggies & seafood- love Mackerel/Salmon.....baked,of course !!)

[Katie]

This is such a cool shot! Love all the colors and tones, for sure, and way to use the word 'clipping' in a sentence!

[Carolyn]

Good job catching the tones in a B&W. I've never had mackerel, but assume it is good!

[Shelley]

The lines on the fish makes this look great in b/w

[Paul Myers]

Even in B&W, those fish look pretty tasty.

[Chris Stapleton]

Lovely dead fishes:-)

[Jen Hudson]

Great tones and forms. Certainly one for b/w and it makes a great picture look

[Kate Carling]

Ansel Adams eat your heart out! Black, white and everything in between. Fantastic.

[Sean O'Neill]

This is so good Shanne. A shot I wish I had taken. Fav

[Iris]

Oooh, I almost missed the fish! This is beautiful! (I think I'm a texture junkie). Great in b/w - but I guess there isn't much color anyways?

[MaryBeth Dailey]

This is a great b and w! Who would think dead fish would be so attractive! Fav

[Shanne]

@irisn blues and greens in the patterns - and quite a surprising amount of red - which they look better without

[Cathy Breen]

This is great in black and white!
