Still Life Images, 2013

I am generally not much of a still life fan, but this works real well for me. Great shapes and tones and excellent use of DOF. Very well done, Jonathan.

Thank you, Harley. I feel that this image is a success, too. The more I use this little gem of a camera (from 1921), the more I appreciate it. It has more bellows extension and more movements than my Speed Graphic in a much smaller package.

"Swan" was my first impression.
Nice image. Could use maybe a bit more contrast?

Thanks for the comment. I know what you mean and sort of agree with you. However, when I tried printing with more contrast, the image became a little "dirtier" which I didn't really care for. As my printing improves I'm sure I'll take another try at this one. I intentionally shot this against white as opposed to black, so I expected that I would have some trouble separating the yellow gourd from the background. I think a blue filter might have helped in that regard too. The print itself is a little smoother than the scan which helps with the lower contrast I think.
