Still Life with Grapes, and My Mothers Lace, originally uploaded by photographerpainterprintmaker.
Grapes! Grapes were on sale at the local Price Chopper. When my hubby brought them home I thought, now’s there’s an answer to this weeks challenge. I dusted off my trusty Nikon, and dug into the linen cupboard. The sun was bright and my spirits high. That is until I tried to turn on my camera and found that I once again forgot to shut it off and drained the battery. I didn’t panic. I had a few hours of daylight left in this wondrous day.
I popped the battery into the fast charger and set a timer. Maybe an hour would give it time to charge? Well, it took two, and the sun was fast moving and my plans were close to being lost.
Five o’clock, the golden hour of sunlight arrives and thankfully the battery is charged. With a bit of jury rigging I was able to set up this still life, in the warm natural light of a February sun.
…..and a golden shot it is too.
Very nice and you are so right about the evening light.
Definitely great lighting!
Very nice…ready for the canvas too now!

Thanks! As for painting this, I would say yes and no Kacy. I don’t like to paint from photo’s. I rather paint from real life. I might set one up and light it in the studio though.
I just read your thoughts on my blog! Thank you for all the wonderful insight! I hope by reading other blogs and seeing other’s photos, I’m able to look at the object in a different way and take a more unique shot!
awesome shot! The grapes look good enough to pick them off the photo and eat!
Grapes! I didn’t even think of grapes. I love them and those look quite tasty!

Lovely still life shot. :)
I want to eat that orange.
