January 2025 - Eucalyptus Fruits
Original
About the Image(s)
My January picture still belongs to the series “Picturesque photography/flowers”. This time I photographed dried eucalyptus fruits on a branch in a glass vase. It always surprises me how different the results are.
This image is very abstract due to the movement with the camera. I liked the fact that only the shadows of the vase are visible and the actual shape of the fruit is somewhat enhanced.
The blue light on the fruit is of course from a flashlight. I rotated the image to bring out the movement. I chose turquoise for the background because the fruit contains blue.
Please give me your opinion and ideas.
Canon EOS R7 28mm f/16 1/2 sec ISO 100

This is a very interesting photo - I do love the your color choice on the final photo. I applaud you for trying and mastering a new technique. Posted: 01/13/2025 13:53:45
Sylvia, thank you so much for your comment.
Turquoise is one of my favorite colors at the moment. I'm glad you like the color too.
By the way, you also try out new techniques or take on challenges in your photo clubs. I think that's very good. For me, it's a way of developing my skills further and I enjoy the slightly different results. Posted: 01/13/2025 14:36:46

Honestly, you have been an inspiration.
I am still trying to find my niche :)
And it is good to have a goal in the different challenges.
I am hoping to be able to focus on in-door (or studio photography? not sure what to call what I do) for the next few months to get a better understanding of lighting. The issue is I share a workspace with my husband who refinishes furniture and I am very lazy about having to set up and tear down the lighting etc. Posted: 01/13/2025 14:44:37

Sabine, Your painterly photography technique creates lovely abstracts. Fascinating that each one has a different vibe by changing the light. The blue is pretty funky while the other is quite soft. A few of these images would make a great collection for wall art. I was curious to see them together. You're on to something ! Posted: 01/15/2025 16:33:58
