Life of the Moose Plant

I started this project for the last challenge, but didn't finish it in time. So, for the sake of posting it somewhere....here we go...




This was just a lima bean that was planted in a cup of potting soil. Took longer than I expected to sprout. :scratch

I think that is a pretty good idea for a tryptich. Seems like a natural, and I like how the frames grow as the plant grows also.

I think one suggestion would be to try to keep the background the same tone in each image. This would help the continuity to my eye.

Ahh, good point. It was though keeping track of what the lighting was 4 days ago, etc. Probably could have equalized it in photoshop.

Actually when I made that suggestion about the background I hadn't thought about the difficult of keeping the color temperature of the light repeatable days apart. Either use artificial light entirely, or shoot with outdoor light at the same time of the day perhaps. Can't just grab window light unless it is about the same time of day I suspect.

Yeah, if I had a basement or something with no windows, I would set up a make-shift studio or something...... hmmmmm, maybe the garage will work...

This was a really neat idea. Sorry it did not pan out in time for you.


Thanks for sharing it anyways!

valid point but to my eye the variances in background help illuminate the various stages of growth.
