Pear Photo Challenge

A few weeks ago the Lakeshore Camera Club had a photo challenge where members were invited to photograph pears (the fruit). No props were allowed, just the pears, with a simple backdrop and lighting. I entered a series of images and I was pleasantly surprised to learn that one of them took second place. The title of the image is "The Happy Couple 2"

Two other entries included "The Happy Couple"

and "The Dancers'

This was real learning experience on still life composition and lighting. A winning image may appear to be simple in composition but the path to get there may have had many roadblocks as well as twists and turns.

Having done these, a friend, Wayne (also a member of the Lakeshore Camera Club) is a "Master" woodworker and creates incredible pieces of furniture. He made a cutting board that was being given to friend, so I wanted to present an image of this master piece for his workshop. The following is the image called "Wayne's Board"

I will be posting more of my photographs on a regular basis.

Cheers
