Two First Places
Still Life With Bamboo Jim Ingraham
This image was conceived and set up with the assigned subject of ‘Curves’ in mind. Studio set up with three studio flash heads all in softboxes. Two were on either side and slightly behind the subject (bamboo and a rose). One was behind and above the subject. There was also a flash with a spot grid and red filter to light the backdrop.
The camera was a Nikon D850 with 24-70 mm Tamron lens set at 65mm. The aperture was f16 with a ISO 500 aperture. Shutter speed 1/160 though not relevant to the image as it was flash.
Snow Blanket Susan Sheets
This image was shot on my patio after a recent snow event. I pressed my foot along the edge into the snow to create the scallops. After a bit more melting, to me, it looked like fringe on a blanket. Shot with my iPhone 8Plus.
