Thank you Mr. Weston

July 06, 2016

I found a fine red bell pepper at the farmers market the other day. The one's they sell in the grocery stores are all graded by shape, so, in a word, BORING!

My original idea had been to shoot it in Black and White, no surprise there... Until I looked at it through the camera and fell in love with the color...

 

 

 

 

 

Playing around with the light took me here, high drama...

 

 

 

 

And finally this shot, which is my favorite...

 

 

 

 

 

For the ultimate bell pepper reference shot, check out Edward Weston, Bell Pepper number 30, shot in 1930! He stuck with the B & W.

 

Thanks for looking, Ding
