Red and black (1)

absolutely stunning. Your still lifes are an inspiration to me. I love the deep red in this image along with the contrast it has with the black vase and plate. The lighting is pleasantly soft creates a set of wonderful shadows. What kind of light source did you use for this?

Dear Anthony,

 

It was a pleasure to know that my humble attempts

to become a photographer might be an inspiration

to someone else. :-) Thank you a lot!!

 

It's nothing special in my lighting "technic",

I used a portable desktop halogen lamp on flexible

stand ($9.95 in K-Mart) with extemporaneous

lamp-shade made of piece of thin white wrap

paper - to make the light soft and scattered.

 

There are some technical details from my camera:

 

Lens: 18,0-55,0mm @ 47,0mm

Exposure: 13 sec

Aperture: f/36

ISO: 200

 

Thanks again!

Olga.

 

 

This is excellent Stock.

Nice work!

oooohhhh! I love the reds.

Great color and composition! Outstanding photograph. Regards.

Vibrant colors and simple composition make this very effective. Nice work!

I love this type of minimal shots, and the red is simply amazing. Congrats Olga, and thanks for sharing with us how you lighted it.

These beautiful compositions inspire me to remember that for all the talk of nth-order effects of lenses and electronic flashes and digital vs. film, it is really about the eye of the photographer. You've made simple objects into whole stories and poems.

 

Excellent colors, Olga.

Very well done. Great choise this red background.
