M7- First idea...is it sweet enough?

"...and i will have...a hive for the honey bee" and eat honey in the bee-loud mornings.......


I was inspired by the Irish Soda bread that my neighbor brought to me today.

I am getting ready to shoot a beehive tomorrow, so I had 'honey' on my brain. It was my first idea, so I'll still go and shoot it.

Thoughts? C&C?

In particular, I'd like some help with the lighting on the ones posted below.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris,
I know the poem mentions bees, but I think this might be a stretch . It's a beautiful shot, and looks like a product shot--I don't really know about it really fitting the theme though.

FWIW, I like #1 the best. I can't help you with lighting suggestions, but it looks good to me, and now I'm hungry to top it off

Waiting to see the bee hive shots, might be more within the theme

I'm surpised that you think that this interpretation is too far off the mark. I was keying off of Kerry's response when everyone was complaining about the lack of green foliage and too many winter brown scenes....

"There's more imagery than just warm-weather stuff in there.
We still have dirty snow banks here, too." ...Kerry

Perhaps the beehive will still work.

Thanks for the feedback! Stay tuned for the next attempt!!

I don't think it's a stretch. I think that you have a good start -- honey on irish bread is a great, homey image that I think fits into the poem nicely.

However, 1-3, while the best, look too staged, especially with the black background. Perhaps shooting more from above, with a cozier environment, might help?

Thanks for the feedback Mark. A reshoot will require a re-bake!!! It was delicious!!

I agree with your coments. Perhaps a nice Irish linen table setting would do the trick.
