Lost in Translation

BLACK & WHITE SUNDAY: STILL LIFE

It’s winter where I am, and with uncomfortably cold and wet weather all I can think of in terms of creativity are some “studio” shots. Here’s an example of low-key still life in black and white. Your theme for this week’s Black and White Sunday is still life – it does not have to bee low-key of course.  I hope that you will have fun answering this prompt.

    Nice pears. Haven’t done a still life … well … since yesterday, actually now that I think of it. It has been so cold outside, I’ve been shooting entirely inside. Great choice for a shoot!
