Re: Shed play
I like both of these images very much. They show technique and artistry. And they are interesting. if I have one quibble it is that the rear of the pebbles is not clearly defined. I'm guessing that a little feathering was applied when making the selction to drop the background to white,
Nice work! Regards

Re: Shed play
OK. I get it Dave. The edges have picked some reflections off the white background making them look slightly softer on the back edges.It's hard to get a pure black in a background....and you've nailed that one, but I think a white background can be even more difficult to control. Perhaps move the subject a little further foreward. Here's a trick...a tray of dry ice in the background creates a soft beautiful fog can add a touch of mystery and beauty to backgrounds and hide any seams or edges.

Re: Shed play
Which begs the question ... from where would you acquire some dry ice these days? Can you get some at Colesworths? g.

Re: Shed play
Easy to obtain from various suppliers. A quick Google gets you there.Often used in disco tec raves and such young peoples nonsense. I have seen it used in studio shoots to mist up the background......it create very sensual softness in portraits if used creatively.

Re: Shed play
Nice, I like the screws, you have done well to make a boring everyday subject interesting.
I would like to see results of some dried ice too - how about one of those little misting oil burner thingy's they generate lots of cool mist too.. gerry's photography journey
No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.
