Hi Folks,

A waste like a banana skin can become a beautiful photography subject, depending on how we look at and manipulate it.

The composition here is very simple. I placed the banana skin on a clear glass sheet on a black velvet. I relied solely on the ceiling fluorescent lightings and here is the outcome – a reflection that shows how slippery the surface is – something we must not step on but must look at, and be alert! The lesson: don’t mess with a banana skin..:)

Always watch your steps and have a safe week ahead.

Thanking you in advance for viewing and your kind words.

Agoes

Props: a banana skin, ceiling lightings, a black velvet & a clear glass sheet.

Halo Agoes,

Foto yang sangat menarik, dan refleksi yang sangat bagus sekali. Dengan BG hitam lebih menonjolkan dimensi dari kulit pisang tersebut.

Salam,

Hello Agoes,

Assalamualaikum,
Nah!! Kulit pisang! Walaupun sekadar kulit pisang, tapi kualiti gambar tetap dikawal dengan cukup baik. Laiting bagus, susun atur ngam. Sapnes pun, seperti biasa, secukup rasa.

Itu reflection, sia sampai sekarang masih bereksperimen macamana supaya tidak berlapis, tidak kelihatan ada dua layer. Belum lagi jumpa, tapi kita sama-sama cuba cari macamana kasi hilang. Sia pernah nampak urang buat yang tidak dabel...

Salam
Ndan.

Hi Agoes,
Beautiful piece of your series, I esecially like the reflection of the interior of the banana skin. Again a creative shot created by much fantasy. :) Well realized idea... TFS.
Greetings,
Kristof

Hi Agoes
Wonderful composition, colours, and light.
Great contrast and an impressive graphic effect.
Allow me read your «empty banana on a black b/g» also as irony to the Andy Warhol classic «full banana on the white b/g» - cover of Velvet Underground» record in 1969.
Have a great we, mb

Hi Agoes,
Beautiful black bg and refex,well done,congratulation.
Best regards,
Ralf
