It's a long weekend and time to "Fire Up the Grill"! Window light - I simply used two Red Peppers from the grocery store and placed them into a bowl from our kitchen. The background is the back-side of my silver reflector.

Nice simple still life black background really shows off the RED of the peppers.

Happy BBQ
Jack

  Jeff...peppers always make a great subject and they look so good here against the dark background and I particularly like the way the rim of the bowl is outlined by the light.

Beautifully presented, Jeff. At FIRST I though it was a double exposure of a Texas sunrise. :D

  Every month, with our camera in hand, we go out and find what we hope will be the “winning photo.”
Those of us that don’t get recognized, just continue to search for that special image, until one day the Congratulations come pouring in from some of the best artist and friends anyone could image.
So to the Better Photo winners for the month of September, I congratulate you on a job so well done.
My very best to all of you, Merna Nobile
