Hope it was helpful. There's a bit of a personal message in the "relationship" of the onions, but the point remains. Positioning of elements in an image needs to ensure the eye can make its way around without confusion. The golden rule is always to keep it relatively simple.
Great video, I've also made use of natural light with a north facing window and was pleasantly surprised at the results. Looking forward to part 2 of this video.
Hi Andrew love this video looking forward to the edit. Don’t always feel like going out so these types of shoots will give me good ideas. I love your style of teaching. Thanks Lyn
Hi Andy thank you for an other great video, can wait to see the edit ! I've got Nik Collection but don't use Analog efex so i am really interested in seing how you edit these photos
I was immediately drawn to thinking back to the infamous 'Banana' episode... a sense of dread only reinforced when you started on the onions being in a relationship. Thankfully, we ended up with something looking vaguely Victorian - or at least early 1970's whole-food-ish (the chives helped here) - and i was able to watch to the end with an unsullied conscience. Anyway - very much not the sort of thing i ever think of doing, even on the rainiest of days like today is. But there's a courgette on the bench... perhaps i need to seize the moment. Thanks for that and all the best.
@@AndyBannerYou're right... you drive out in the morning and admire the nice little courgettes next to the driveway, and when you come back in the evening the whole place is a sea of marrows and you can't get the car through. Happened to me once - honest.
Great video mate ; very different and so well explained 👋👋. I'm sure many will give it go even if just for a learning/building experience exercise . Just the thing for rain/cold days, or for those who cannot get out of the house . Yes; anything can be made to be a photography subject. Couple of little points in I may 3:32 in the southern hemisphere a south facing window is better . But cloudy/rain days mean any window/door way can be used . A 1/2 closed door make a great shaft of light . Most of the great artists used north facing window light and a reflector . 5:08 reflector : the inside of card board milk and juice cartons are great . You do a great job of inspiring others Andy .
Thanks a lot as usual. Off cause I also follow many of the “famous” RUclipsr photographers. But! As much as they produce awesome pictures from all over the world it is not as inspirational as I want. I’m not able to go to Iceland, farro island, Arctic or Mongolia. But I can see myself do something like you doing and be inspired of your work. Yes, I have also a kitchen window and this “simple” (understand me right) video is very more inspirational then many of the others. So keep going on and take care! Göran in Latvia
Thank you. Yes, the jet-setting yt photographers are probably losing followings because of their lack of relatability now. I certainly watch less of some of them. Though I do always watch Tom Heaton.
@@AndyBanner yes Heaton is Very good. One other favorite of mine is aows. A full time, semi nomad, minimalist photographer in black and white. Are you familiar with him? Take care Göran in Latvia
Hi, buddy. Is everything okay there in England? These are the videos I love. Because as you know, I work indoors a lot. But I don't have a nice kitchen window to use, so I have to make do with a flash. But that's no big deal. I had a shitty night from 3:30 am to 6:30 am with constant spasms. But that's over, I just have a lot of muscle pain now. It's like I've had a really tough workout. 😂 😂 😂. But without fooling around, this is a video that gives me ideas and I'm grateful for that, friend. Until the next episode. Antoine
I'm sure you have a window or door way you could use . It's all about making what you have work for you . . If you have sun window you could cover it with light white cloth or paper . White bed sheets and pillow cases make great light shapers and backdrops . Window/natural light can be far better than a flash
Antoine, Thank you as ever for your kind words. I really hope your condition gets under control quickly. Do send me some of your recent works. Be well. Andy
I enjoyed the video ! Your onions behaved very well. 😂 I like this style of rustic photos and I like the door one sees in the video ! Good taste you have !
You need to show them who's boss. The biggest problem is how they make you cry as you bludgeon them into a curry and I am sure the aftermath is a lingering curse of the onions and nothing to do with chilli.
Indeed. These images are more about the rustic nature of the vegies. I wanted to capture the textures get a bit "gritty" with them. As much as I like "sanitised" images (and will be shooting some in future videos), what really gets me interested is texture.
Hi, Antoine, I did, but it caused my mailbox to fill up. I had to do some trickery to get my mail working again and I forgot all about the images, Sorry.. Been a challenging week. Speak later.

Love it, especially after you turned the onion. Huge difference. Thank you.
Thanks. Why I never noticed the onion "looking" in the wrong direction in the first place is unknown to me.
Great to see you back and producing great video
Thanks
I really struggle with the placement of items for still life so it was interesting to see your thought process. Thank you.

Me too !

AnalogEfx is a great bit of software for creating aged artwork from modern photographs. Hope you tune in next week!

Courgettes are tricky buggers. You can't trust them. Onions are much easer to train...

Do you have to empty the milk first? I found that the pie dish didn't work very well when it still had pie in it.... :-)

Ian, Antoine is a really accomplished still life shooter - maybe he will send you a link to some of his work.
@@AndyBanner They are sent, my friend. Look in your mailbox.

They are well trained onions, it has to be said. :-)
@@AndyBanner 🧡😂
nice kitchen
It is a nice kitchen - available for holidays from April to October just outside Cromer, Norfolk :-)
I also like his kitchen !
Misbehaving onions is a somewhat frightening concept. 😂
You need to show them who's boss. The biggest problem is how they make you cry as you bludgeon them into a curry and I am sure the aftermath is a lingering curse of the onions and nothing to do with chilli.
👍🏽🤣
Don't forget folks a cut onion has great patterns . Same goes most fruit/vegies
