Veggies in the night

Hello everyone!  Here I have a few photos I have taken for the Point of View assignment.
You can view more of my photos here on Picasa
My target of choice was a large piece of cauliflower, some celery, and a plate of carrots.
For both pictures I turned my target as I didn't have a better background to shoot against.
The first picture here is a shot from the front of the cauliflower.  There isn't a whole lot of light on it and the low ISO sensitivity makes it looks even darker.  I myself think the shadows add a nice look to the image and the low ISO makes the picture have little grain and have a nice smooth look to it.  I very much like this photo considerably more than the next, but the other one is still alright.

Photo number 2 is the same image flipped 180 degrees.  I chose this one because it was still nice looking from behind in that the organization of the veggies looks good.  I don't like the positioning as much as the first picture though, this is because of course I set them up to look nice from the front, not the back..  Also the picture is quite different in the way that it is much brighter and the lighting doesn't have as much of a dark feel to it.

THOUGH, my favorite pictures were the fun ones I took after taking the first bunch.  Here are 2 examples.

Hope you enjoyed my photos!

  1. The first picture reminds me of how the moon is lit at night- kind of a strange analogy, I suppose. And, the third one's amusing. Looks like the little cow is just popping in to say "Hey!" mid-shot. :)

  2. I too love the cow in the giant forest of veggies, definitely my favorite one, but they all came out really nice and look like they came out of a food magazine!

    I tnink these are great! My favorite veggies and one of my favorite animals! I think the first one strikes me the most because of the way you captured the light on the veggies. Looks like it belongs in a magazine!
    Nice job!

  4. Great job Josh! My favorites are the first and third.

    In the first one the only thing I think I would have done differently would be to change the angle slightly so that the light faded into the shadow rather than having it be divided by a line, but that's personal preference and the picture is beautiful as is. :D

    The third is my real favorite. One is lead down and back by the angle and light of the carrots, then... WahBAM! COW! Made me laugh, yet it is also a very well composed photograph artistically.

  5. I really like the lighting contrast between the first two pictures it gives your veggies a nice shadowing I never knew celery had a dark side ( come to the dark side young Jedi).
    My personal favorite was your final picture of the cow-liflower lol.

  6. Haha...cow-liflower...
    Cool photos Josh! Who would've known cauliflower could be so enticing. I agree with Heidi that the first photo makes the veggies look moonlit. Beth- I like your comments about shadowing. I realized in my photos the importance of taking that aspect into consideration and feel like I had an AHA! moment!

  7. I did enjoy your photos! I too like the first picture the dark and light contrast was amazing. Your last two photos were amusing. The cows really added to the assortment.

  8. Great photos Josh! I think my favorite is the 3rd photo. I really like the close-up feature, and the sharp focus on the cow! Very cute. I agree with you about the lighting on the 1st photo too, I believe the shadows make it softer and more appealing.

  10. Great photo's Josh, I like how you did the 180 degree photo change. The colors you have here are very bright as well. Neat perspective.
