Still looking for an appropriate table and a good looking tequila bottle.
These are old beater chairs I’ve found in second-hand stores for a buck or two apiece. In fact, I found the yellow one abandoned in the desert. It was pretty nasty! A little TLC and a coat of paint made all three suitable models for various photo shoots. I have another in the garage in the process of being painted green.
I may need to learn tole painting and paint Mexican designs on them.
My first try at a still life after the 17th century Dutch painters.
Lighting is only candlelight, except for a 25 watt lamp aimed at the wall behind me. Shot at f/18 for DOF with a 30 second exposure.
Unfortunately the long exposure time creates an unwanted candle flare. But all-in-all I’m happy with the result.
