I prefer your photos that show a little glimpse of something else of you... you know, maybe a peek at a wall, or a path or something... for me the black background is removing the connection between your produce and your garden. <br /><br />I prefer your less styled shots!Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17072118694728610270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-17060405094869772262011-07-29T11:47:40.241+01:002011-07-29T11:47:40.241+01:00Hi Mark,

I think this style of photography is great for raw veg, but not for cooked dishes like mine. Keep experimenting though, its good for amateur phototgraphers like myself to learn from others experiences, esp as I've not tried this method.Shaheenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03602971207085826708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-43276423805947593372011-07-29T08:54:01.978+01:002011-07-29T08:54:01.978+01:00Very dramatic, the dark background really intensif...Very dramatic, the dark background really intensifies the pictures, without taking any attention away from the vegetables.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-20954323677235700982011-07-29T07:58:27.268+01:002011-07-29T07:58:27.268+01:00The black background is not bad at all.

I think it's the texture of the beans against the smooth background.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00271897050657481148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-10100610369957031122011-07-29T00:25:03.678+01:002011-07-29T00:25:03.678+01:00It is interesting, some of them do look grey, not ...It is interesting, some of them do look grey, not black.

Some of my artist friends agree with me. Some others, do use black for their paintings and I find it takes away from them. Try purchasing a white card and see the difference--could be a matter of personal preference, and I certainly don't mean to critisize.Egretta Wells bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410663977991054877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-6734074508967157092011-07-28T18:30:58.951+01:002011-07-28T18:30:58.951+01:00The photos are great from an artistic point of vie...The photos are great from an artistic point of view. I used to use a similar technique when I was delivering teacher training only we scanned the fruit and vegetables rather than photographing them. The light in which you are photographing can have a dramatic effect - did you use a spotlight or flash?Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.com
