About the Image(s)

Getting more use from the can of flat black paint, I painted this previously white pumpkin
black along with the two gourds that were part of a fall themed centerpiece. I placed
them on a sheet of black glass with a black velvet background. I plucked some red
maple leaves from my neighbor’s tree (they were all being blown off, anyway).The
lighting was from the open glass doors on the left with a foil fill card on the right.
Nikon Z8
Nikon 70-300 mm lens at 100 mm.
f/16 @4 sec, ISO 160

Wow Charles!! The dynamics of your colors are very vivid. The reflection is there and has a ghost affect but is noticeable. Your lighting is perfect and I like how its visible on the entire image. Beautiful still life.   Posted: 01/04/2025 15:37:55

Thank you, Sharlana. I appreciate the comments. I really enjoy doing still life photography. I don't spend as much time outdoors now that the winter has set in here in the northeast, so I'll do more with still life.   Posted: 01/04/2025 15:53:28
