“The Gnarled Potato”
I can’t say I was satisfied with any of my photographs today. It happens, but it also keeps it real. There’s no cheating going on here: one photo a day, from midnight to midnight. I ended up choosing that weird potato shot. I didn’t want to use my lightbox this time. Instead, I tried a more fitting background. My plan was to show the textures of the potato and the fabric it lays upon. What I’m quite disappointed with is the composition. Not enough fudge room, too small a fabric. What I plan on doing is a macro shot, but I didn’t get the chance to set it up today. I cropped it to just show a bit of the seams. I thought those would add a little to the picture. I don’t know, something’s not right to me. What do you think? I take this opportunity to say that critiques are very much appreciated. It helps me grow as a photographer, thanks in advance.
