tis our season of fruits
bountiful and bright
to suit all tastes with delight
experimenting with still life it seems one needs bright lights to erase the shadows …
outdoor photography is more my style

I am jealous! Many of our summer fruits are gone for another year. My wife can never enjoy enough watermelon. I agree with your assessment of indoor photography, and I much prefer opportunities waiting outside. Have a great week Kate.

Such a beautiful still-life photo, SweetKate! The shadows add character! It’s the sun saying, “I see your delicious meal! I’m shining down on you, too!”
Yummy yum yum! The seasons of the freshest fruits and veggies are a joy! 🙂

Ah! Fruit of the gods (mango)!! It all looks delicious. As for the photo – I like the shadows as they give the picture more depth and the fruits a nice gradient of color!!

The colour works well Kate, but so does the positioning. I think you’ve done it really well 😁

Mmm, I love all kinds of fruit! By the way, what is still life photography?

still photography is photographing things that don’t move – are still – usually indoors. So most ‘still’ art are bowls of fruits or flowers … thanks for asking!
Outside even the flowers we take bob about in the wind nothing is ‘still’ but the natural light makes it so much easier to control shadows 🙂

Thinking about your comment about the shadows, I wonder if a flash might help — the composition is good, but some of the shadows might well disappear with a little extra light!

interesting idea but I’ve already ‘dulled’ the pic as the sun was so bright … but next time I’ll try it to see the impact, thanks Janet!
