This is my first Still life photograph in this blog. Indeed it isn’t my favorite sort of photography. But it is almost the only option in this age of coronavirus, when we are in solitary confinement.
Of course it isn’t shameful π But for some reason, it didn’t appeal to me, until now. A Spanish expression says (and I think in English as well), “hacer de la necesidad virtud (making a virtue out of necessity)”. so now I’ll do and try to improve still life.
Thanks for your comment
Thanks Mike. When I was young, used to play chess almost every day. Nowadays I don’t play but have some boards yet, if not to play, at least to photograph.
Love the shallow depth of field!! Stay safe!
