Nigella Seed Heads

I was collecting the seeds from my Nigella (Love in a Mist) seed heads this morning and it seemed like a good idea to photograph them as well.

Taken indoors in natural window light with a sheet of yellow card as a background.

Keith Burton replied to Annemarie:

Glad you like it Annemarie..........thanks very much.

The background is simply a piece of yellow card bought from a nearby arts and crafts store. I have built up quite a selection of them.

I also collect unwanted rolls of wallpaper from charity shops, when I think they might make a good background and also rolls of wrapping paper.

I agree with Roger and TOZ - your still lifes are always striking exercises in colour and aesthetics. You are the master. I agree with everyone else, too.
