Nigella Seed Heads

Nigella Seed Heads
I was collecting the seeds from my Nigella (Love in a Mist) seed heads this morning and it seemed like a good idea to photograph them as well.

Taken indoors in natural window light with a sheet of yellow card as a background.

again a most beautiful still life on yellow! ( how do you make the different bg??')
4 months ago.
Keith Burton club has replied to Annemarie club
Glad you like it Annemarie..........thanks very much.

The background is simply a piece of yellow card bought from a nearby arts and crafts store. I have built up quite a selection of them.

I also collect unwanted rolls of wallpaper from charity shops, when I think they might make a good background and also rolls of wrapping paper.

I agree with Roger and TOZ - your still lifes are always striking exercises in colour and aesthetics. You are the master. I agree with everyone else, too.

A perfect still life with a well chosen background. That vase is beautiful, it looks like a bird egg!

Thanks very much Gudrun...........I'm really pleased you like it.

That's exactly what I thought when I found the vase in a charity shop. It's one of the few I've not donated back to the shop after taking a photo. This is about the 4th time I've used it.
