  3. Ce travail est excellent, beaucoup de détails, l’oeil ne sait plus où en donner de la tête!! Beau travail sur les couleurs, un ton “chaud” bien agréable qui donne un bel effet de nostalgie… Et le frére de Titi dans la paille!!!!

    @Kate, no time for a picnic, there were too many things to shoot 🙂 and the rain came soon after we left the place.

    • Thank you Jeff, I did not move any of those objects around. Actually it’s the light falling on them that attracted my attention. I simply moved myself to get the right angle for the most aesthetically pleasing composition. They were mostly grabbed shots as I was walking by, for most I only took one or two pictures. I was pleased that so many of them turned out so nicely without spending any time in post, which is another thing I try to avoid when shooting personal projects 🙂
      I really enjoy shooting still life as is, the way it presents itself. But I did work on a staged still life project last year, also in window light. It was fun too but I soon realized that you can’t over think the composition or it’s not going to work. You have to follow your heart or gut feeling and know when it’s just right. Surprisingly, it’s often the first shot that is the best one. You can see the staged still life project on this gallery:

        So true, Valerie…thanks for reminding us all of that photographic axiom. After filtering thru all the technical “stuff” about an image, you just have to go for it…compose it, click it…and keep moving forward. So easy to over-think a photo…

  9. Valerie…once again you amaze us with your photographic talents. Looks as if all of us here love shooting available light. Your top and bottom images are classics. The top with the juxtaposition of lines and circulars….the bottom with your excellent capture and control of that wide contrast range…
