18 January

Pale Imitation

It has not been a great day and this is not a very great PaD. I came home from work without a clue
regarding photo possibilities. I have admired for some time the wonderful basket that The Wife's sister and
her family gave to us at Christmas (filled with all kinds of delicious goodies). I also thought of the
lovely black and white still life images that I have admired on PBase (Ann LT, please take a bow).
I don't think mine is near that level of quality, but isn't this what PaD is all about?

Nikon D70 ,Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G ED-IF AF-S DX Zoom
1/60s f/7.1 at 55.0mm iso320 with Flash full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Oh man, I've felt that panic. Tick-toc, tick-toc.. oh no, help Mr. Wizard. LOL! This is good shot with great texture and I like the b&w treatment.

Guest 19-Jan-2005 09:56
goodies, eh? I'd like to take a look inside!!

I like the lighting on this, Jim. I keep meaning to have a go at B&W, I've seen some excellent B&W stuff on Pbase.

Nice photo Jim, but sometimes a photo doesnt have to be technically great in order to be appreciated, this photo will remind you of xmas and all the goodies you got, and Ann LT's BWs hehe

Very nicely done, Jim. Photo is excellent, and the basket looks very well crafted. Hey, you did really good for a panic day :)

I like the structure of that basket and the different small lines from the woven part, not sure if that is what it is called. Good job to make it Black and White, a perfect treatment for this image.

We all know that feeling of panic as the day comes to a close and we have no picture. But anyone whose desperation pictures are as good as this has nothing to worry about. Beautiful textures and surfaces, particularly in black and white. Very nice.

Exactly what Ian said.. if the thumbnail grabs me enough I look closer.. this one did. Very nice b&w tones.. You did well. take a bow yourself. :D
Guest 18-Jan-2005 22:26
Don't knock it... I thought the thumbnail stood out in the gallery and the picture didn't disappoint!!

What an interesting basket - lovely. And, a great shot of it.
Guest 18-Jan-2005 22:20
And I hope your day will end on a better note!

My mouth is wide open...I'm speechless. Thanks Jim!!! I really don't deserve it but thank you so much,really. This is a neat basket and you did a good job! Looks good in monochrome too. And I like how you didn't compose it dead center but to the left.
