Farmer's Market

[RustySterling]

I always love to go to the local farmer's market. Always some opportunities for some great shots. Here's a few I took over the weekend. BTW, on the one with the ladies tasting the strawberries, I haven't gotten around to it yet but I plan make the background black and white -- too many distracting colors and elements for my taste. I'm also considering making it all B&W and just erasing back in the color of the strawberries only. Anyway, here are the shots:

That fell fast. Nobody even looked.

Rusty, as you know, sometimes these photos get pushed down extremely quickly. I absolutely love those raspberries! Really makes me want to run out and get some. I like your idea of converting the first to B&W.

lputman: Oh, I know they can go down fast. I really don't like bumping something back up but thought I'd try with this. I only do that on a very limited basis. To do it a lot, I believe, would be rude and insensitive.

And thanks for the validation about the B&W. I really believe it will work better. And I think I'm only going to bring back color to the strawberries (including the one's the ladies are tasting).

I also think the raspberries are awesome. They were under a canopy, so I had to use some flash for fill. I also focused on the center to get some depth. I also liked that there was one box missing on the edge to break up the uniformity.

The oranges also looked awesome to me. I did very little post to those, the colors are straight OOTC.

I am glad that you did, That raspberry shot is a case study in color, texture and lines....It's great!

Thank you so much. I really appreciate hearing (reading) that. I agree totally. And like I said, the one missing box creates a really almost unconsidered point of interest.

The vendor told me that in a couple of weeks he'll have blackberries available and that he mixes the blueberry and blackberry boxes together. Should be an interesting shot.

I know what you mean about no comments. Funny how fast the posts go to the next page. I feel the same sometimes. lol.

I like your shots but the raspberries are my favorite. My son who is sitting on my lap said, I want some please mom. PLEASE can I have some. I had to tell him it was only a picture. lol

Wow! That's so cool. Too bad he couldn't reach into the monitor and grab a handful.

I have to admit that at first I thought the raspberry shot was a bit cliched. But I also like it and had to share.
