a question of balance

Posted by Jeff (Honolulu, United States) on 26 November 2007 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.

I like simple images and even though a picture of spoons doesn't really amount to anything, learning to process a simple image is important as it forces one to concentrate on the details because there is no color or interest value to distract attention from the basics. In this one, the counter top is processed to provide a dark background with which to work. The image was shot with available light coming through a window midway through the morning.

ISO 100, 20s, f/40.0, e.c. -1, 135mm of 70-300mm

Image genre: Black and white photograph

This site is the sister of "Aloha Photo" which is a much more extensive photo site and can be viewed at http://alohaphoto.my-expressions.com/index.html. Often images are posted in both places, but aloha photo has been in operation since 2004, so it has many more photographs. If you are interested in Hawaii please feel free to visit my other photoblog.
