Still Life Workshop

Since few years I'm an active member of a Photo Club and this allows me to confront myself with people that has been dealing with photography for most of their life.
The personal vision about photography it is always very subjective beside for the fact that all members has a real passion about it.

For the month of October the official subject is "Nature Morte" that means "Still Life", but it can also be interpreted in a wider way considering any "inanimate subjects".
I have practiced for different days using season fruits, vegetables, objects (new and ancient) and I have ended with some nice results (I did not have particular expectation about it) in colors and even black and white.

The one that I prefer is the following:



Setup:

A continuous light source (Halogen Light) on the left side to assure a Caravaggio light with dramatic effect and many under exposed parts.
