December 2024 - Falling Pear
About the Image(s)
I was inspired by a video on You Tube to create the illusion of a pear falling. Hopefully it worked. An off camera flash was used to capture the image. It was processed in Photoshop and Nik Silver Efex.
Nikon D500; 16-80 lens@55mm; f/8; 1/250 second; ISO 100;
off camera flash.

A good illusion, and I hope you share the secret :-) It is a nicely grumpy pear, full of character.
My one suggestion would be to take it into camera raw again and to drop the highlights.

Hi Gerard,
Here's the link to my inspiring you tube video. I enjoy watching his videos. I hope you do too.

Barbara, this is great. I love the simplicity of it and the precarious angle of the pear and its shadow. I agree with Gerard about the highlights but other than that it's perfect. I will look up the link and try something similar. Posted: 12/15/2024 12:34:06
I like the sparseness of this, and the tension at the moment of falling, a tension that might be increased if it were a glass of wine rather than a pear! Technically lovely tones. I don't mind the highlights. Posted: 12/15/2024 15:16:04
