Cherry Bomb and Ash
Jan 9, 2016 08:31:04 #
I've enjoyed seeing some of the photos of others who have posted about their woodworking carving interests. Woodworking is my serious hobby - and therapy - that has allowed me to continue to play with my less serious hobby of photography.
Recently, I created a studio in my dining room, using two flashes, left and right, Canon 7dII, 24-105 lens, and a black velvet backdrop.
Still learning so much... Enjoy and as always, C&C is welcome cause ya'll are the greatest teachers and I am a so-so learner!

Cherry Bomb. Some call it the apple. Notice the window? And the dining room light?

Litte Bit, the shop dog. What's woodworking without a dog? What's a photoshoot without a pet?

The dog looks so REAL!
Yup, RaeRae, Little Bit is the real deal...a little rescue dog. She's awesome but too dang wiggly for this photo shoot!

mrova, very nice, colorful and clean cuts. Are they hand carvings or wood turnings? The finials on both are very good. I struggle with these type of turnings.
I like them both as a piece and as a photograph!

Thanks, Dave, for commenting! These are woodturnings, and specifically, these are hollowforms. Both turnings are hollowed out through the small opening at the top. The red one is about 6" in diameter. Woodworking is my therapist that actually pays me (sometimes). It allows me to stretch my photography a bit because I really wanted to learn to take decent photos of my work.
