I took this picture this week because, besides being pretty, this seemed to powerfully symbolise the end of summer. That said, today has been very warm – but I think autumn will strike very soon. the morning and evening sun now has that yellow glint.
Notice too how the rose shows amazing beauty in imperfection: what a lesson to us all!
I know this is similar to the picture I posted five weeks ago, but the difference is in the perceived texture of the surface of the apples. Somehow, this shot seemed to sum up everything for me right now.
It is rather fascinating, how the right conditions (in terms of lighting) can enable texture – which is really down to touch, and is therefore three-dimensional – to be portrayed simply by the appearance of an object. This was what attracted me and motivated me to take the shot in the first place.
It's kind to share!
