I hope I am in time for Click! Probably in the nick of time. But I cannot miss it. I had taken a few shots before I left Germany for Dubai and was rather pleased with all of them. But I decided to select this one for my entry to Click - Metal, which is the current theme.
Metal is a rather cold material. I wanted to portray it in a warm light. Not easy but achievable with the right lighting, colors and backdrops. I have a wonderful matt metal bowl, that I love and it was perfect for this shot. Food had to be a part of the shot. After all food is what this blog is all about. I used some fresh raspberries as I love the warm, pink and red shades, which is always eye-catching. My background is a soothing burlap placemat. These colors reflect against the metal and create a wonderful effect.
