From Soil to Barn


bentes_world

If anyone should think that this is inspired of Ken Williams they are so right. He's stills are faboulous but I hope this is my own style and I hope Ken will bare with me. I have come to think that doing stills are fun and a grest challenge. I have a barn with dirty walls and dirty windows and specially in summertime the light is quite good ... not too much and not too little ... and there is space so for building the scenery and follow the light.All the vegetables are from my kitchengarden and I got the idea using them for photos one day I was digging up potatoes and I got up the whole plant with top and all the potatoes still sitting in the lump of soil. When I got time to do the photos .... the tops had withered down but I wouldn't give up the idea of doing the vegetables from my kitchengarden ... and this is some of the stuff I did. Hope you like it.F 22 and 3 sec.

Nova, Pnina, Janet and Mario ... to all you hungry, thirsty and mouthwatering ones: What about a drink before dinner and tehn some beef, baked potatoes and squash with tomatoes and onions ... and of course some red wine too?

 

Thanks to all of you for taking the time to comment and I'm very pleased you like the photo.

 

Mark .. you are welcome to joine in the dinner too. Thanks for your nice comment.

 

Aivar .. thanks to you too for commenting. The light is as mentioned earlier natural daylight coming from left and a curtain to make the shadow.

Bente, this is a wonderful still life. . . I love the natural lighting, the dark background punctuated by the bright colors of the veggies, and the flowing composition. . . great work!

Bram ... you asking me to teach is a great honour. It all starts with buying an old farm with an old barn ... and then to look and learn here on PN .. get inspired .. and to have the vegetables ...

 

Thanks for your nice comment .... and for whispering. I appreciated that very much.

 

A.K. .. heartiest thanks for your nice comment. SMILE

 

Donna .... thank you so much for your very kind comment ... and I'm amongst those who are happy to see you uploading and participating on PN again.

 

Julio .. your language is unfortunately not on the list of the few languages I can understand. I guess Danish isn't on your list too ... but thanks for taking you time and stop here to comment. So kind of you .. and I know you are saying something nice.

... How kind of you. I know you aren't handling out your 7/7 very often so of course I'm honored and happy you like it but what counts most is you taking time to leave a comment here. Thnx Regina.

 

Arthur ... thanks ot you too.

 

..... and for sure I'm pretty overwelmed and happy by all the nice comments and interest from all of you.

 

PS .. I'm not looking at the TOP pages very often ... but I took a look at most Ratings for 3 days .... and that made me smile .... you should go and have a look .... I'm surrounded of 7 nudes ... nice nudes of course, but absolutely not a situation I'm used to. HA

Wonderful colors and light...and well presented as well. This is something you would readily find in a barn in my "Americana" photo. Good job.

I like all three, and this one the best for its expanding composition. This is great. Great vegetables and beautiful color.
