Portrait

This was taken in my little side yard studio here on Roscoe. I bought a cheap background support, a cloth background and a stool. It is on the north wall of our house, so it gets lovely soft north light. I like this one.

Agave, Roscoe studio

My little north light studio has finally gotten some use. It sits outside, on the north side of our house, and consists of a background stand, a muslin background cloth and a stool. It always gets a nice north light. I wash the background once a season. This agave was being moved in a container and I propped it up as I passed and took a few shots.

Apple, Roscoe studio

While my daughter was here for Thanksgiving, we went out for groceries. She put three apples like this in our cart and we paid and came home. We discovered that they were organic hybrid apples and went for almost $5.00 a pound! This specimen was almost a pound by itself. I figured a $5.00 apple deserved a portrait. Then I ate it.

Old shell, studio, Roscoe

This little clam endured numerous assaults before it gave up.

This one had so many layers of color.

Old shells, sideyard studio, Roscoe

I was inspired by Kirk Tuck to set up a studio. I have no indoor room, so I bought a background stand and two muslin background cloths. I put them against a north wall put a stool out with them. I also got an LED light which I haven't used yet. These shells needed a portrait.
