I chose a scorpion, and a teradacyl to accompany a small skull. I placed the skull atop a green glass vase and I chose three mini pumpkins, resting under a ceramic green vase. I added green hydrangeas to the vase and place them alongside a red vase with pink lilies. I photographed this against a white backdrop but added a blue-green texture as a background to accentuate the whimsical scene. The setup creates a quirky contrast between the natural and the macabre in a harmonious composition.
Orange Lilies, Pumpkins, and Candle
I love everything about the Fall–from the beginnings of cool crisp days, to even the end of daylight savings time. I love the colorful Autumn leaves. I decided to incorporate all the elements of this season into these images. Pumpkins are a big part of the season. I incorporated some lovely orange lilies to match the pumpkins. I added some green grapes to a green ceramic vase, as well as an upside down goblet with a white candle and flame. You can see more of my work on: marilyn-botta.pixels.com.
Savannah Rapids
I went to Savannah Rapids in late November to take some pictures of the Fall foliage. Around here (Augusta, GA) it is a rarity to find actual foliage but it was there. The Fall colors are never what they would be up North, but this day I got some nice shots.
Brick Pond at Dusk
I went to Brick Pond Park in N. Augusta one Saturday at dusk. Pictures were all hand-held (probably should’ve used a tripod) but they came out nice anyway. The Fall foliage was visible finally (at the end of November). It was so peaceful and beautiful. The sunset was gorgeous, as evidence by the pictures.
