Standing in the kitchen staring absent mindedly at the lemon and limes in the fruit bowl jogged a long forgotten memory of Dad taking macro shots of orange skin. There was a bellows involved, I vaguely recall it was attached either straight to the camera body or to a lens to extend the range, or magnify the object, in this case an orange.
I was amazed at how close he could get and subconsciously it has influenced how I take photos as far as trying to get in as close as possible.
Very cool the way the bowl twists and distorts the shape of the fruit. It took me a second to figure out exactly what it was. My first thought was "Photoshop effect" before it clicked.
ReplyDeleteI got a completely different perspective to Dave's, and I never would have guessed a fruit bowl! I thought you had immersed the fruit in water then rippled the water's surface to get the effect LOL! Oh well, it's a good way to get people discussing your pics huh?

hahaha, I guess the "photoshop" idea is a standard first impression for a graphic designer.
ReplyDeleteI can see the water look now too tho. Interesting how people see things so differently.
haha It's a crystal bowl that has ripples on the surface. I should have cleaned the dust off I guess, oh well
ReplyDeleteLove how you both thought totally different things :)
