Bosc Pear Still Life

November 27, 2012 by Barb 23 Comments

Well, here’s my contribution to the Bosc Pear Photography Obsession.

At the moment there are no flowers in my garden and although I don’t mind winter, I often find myself at a loss as to what to photograph. So when I came across these lovely pears whilst doing my grocery shopping I became inspired. (I so love it when you can eat your still life when you’re finished with it).

Today is the last day of Texture Tuesday until 2013. I can’t remember why that is so, it just is…

It is also the “Free and Easy Edition” where all you have to do is use any texture of your choice. I used Kim’s “paper and paste” on multiply. I don’t usually go so texture-heavy but of course Bosc Pears cry out for it and when Bosc Pears cry out, I listen.

I’m hoping that the next time you see them, they are in a tart.

    Pears are just the most sensual and photogenic of fruit, aren’t they? Genius shots…love them. Last winter I found some baby pears that I had never seen before and had so much fun with them. They’re up on my dining room wall now.

    These photographed well and look very tasty. The last shot is my favorite because I love things in threes. :)

    What a beautiful job you did with these pears…they are not my favorite fruit, but these photos make my mouth water. Excellent choice on the texture, too. Bravo!
