My impression of some bananas... painted in oil on canvas. :D Thank you very much for viewing.

Nikon D70, 50mm f1.8D lens, Exposure at f5.6 at 1/40 of a second in Manual Mode, Single 60 Watt lamp light source.

    Actually Jiro,

    I quite like this, and a thumb.gif for your processing.

    Thanks, Randy. I'm glad you like the post-processing. I still can't shoot outside (too cold for my feeble hands) that's why I'm taking pictures of whatever interests me inside the house. :D

    I would almost like to see one with more Texture, although this is good... :-)

    Maybe I need to wait a couple days and I will get more textures, .....and more brown. hehe

    We'll see. Hehehe. If I put some more texture it would be a different processing. I'll see what I can come up with. Thanks! :D

    You know, it's really easy to imagine seeing something like this in a contemporary art museum: a 48 hour video of some bananas ripening and (eventually) rotting. mwink.gif

    Again, a simple presentation that belies the thought and preparation that went into its making. An impressive image, Jiro. I like it a lot.thumb.gif

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Thanks, Richard. It'd be nice if I can make a time-lapse photography on these bananas... if they will not be eaten soon. rolleyes1.gif Thanks for viewing! thumb.gif

    Thank you, Mary. And it's only less than $10.00 for the whole table lamp and bulb combined. thumb.gif

    I really like this series. Both simple and complex, with very soothing colors and positioning.

    Excellent!

    It is the purpose of life that each of us strives to become actually what he is potentially. We should be obsessed with stretching towards that goal through the world we inhabit.
