Spag Bol

By chase
Basic ingredients for a Spaghetti Bolognese Smile

Lit by daylight camera left against a new backdrop.
The wooden base I made from some old fencing I recently took down, just added a touch of wax and brought it back to life...recycling is great fun.
The scales & weights I have had for a while.
Basil is from my greenhouse, just about big enough to use.
Garlic is home grown.

An HDR image, 3 frames each 1 stop apart combined in Lightroom and finished with a slight crop, levels etc in Photoshop.

Thanks for dropping by.
Hope everyone is safe and well.
Constructive critique and mods welcome.
Janet xx

Blimey, my mother had kitchen scales just like these when I were a lad! 😃 A lovely composition and arrangement of all the elements in the shot, Janet, and beautifully processed too 👍

Everything arranged to perfection Janet, a superb still life with excellent lighting. Remember my Mum had scales like these, I think they were green!

You are absolutely magnificent in innovation and your craft in this genre is top class. Unfortunately the image as presented to me on this screen, and bear in mind I have had eye operations, looks a little on the dark side. David
Super still life great capture

Our kitchen scales were painted pale green, as was just about everything else - I think my father got a job lot of paint.
This is satisfyingly heavy on the garlic... Wink

Hmm, just a bit too much for me Moira lol, I would only use as much as is on the wooden base, a couple of cloves is my limit Wink

A well-balanced still-life, Janet.Wink
The only detail my brain picked up on is the modern pasta jar with the old scales - a container that more matched the age of the scales might work better? But what? I admit to not knowing...Smile

Many thanks for your UA Andy, lovely compliment.

Malc, that Spaghetti jar is older than you think, it was my Nanas' and I don't have anything else that is tall enough for the Spag Wink

Still on the Cow I reckon......nah, it's in the freezer Wink

Classic Janet! It's great. I particularly like the wooden base. I have been after something similar for ages.

Your own basil, your own garlic - all before you set up the other ingredients along with those wonderful scales. I hope the spag bol was good after all of this effort for one image!
