high key still life

Posted by Jeff (Honolulu, United States) on 16 December 2007 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

This vase of roses was on a glass table in my home. One morning after clearing breakfast dishes away I noticed the placemat and napkin and thought they and the roses made a nice still life image. I processed it as a high key image because I liked the way the glass table top disappeared, leaving only the edge of the table and the reflection of the vase. I find the negative space appealing.

ISO 100, 30s, f/29.0, e.c. +1, 31mm of 18-55mm

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.
