The guest apartment we stayed in on our time away last week has a brick wall in the dining room and kitchen.
It also has great light!
I just had to take some photos with the brick wall as a background.
I didn't have all of the items I have at home to use as photography props,
so I made do with some fruit we had for snacking on and a bowl from the kitchen.

Boy, do I love that wall!

Two years ago we took our oldest granddaughter and stayed in the same apartment.
I took this photo of her in front of that same wall.
still following,
It'd be so cool to have a brick wall as an accent wall. I'd love that!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could have transported that wall and that great light home with me!
DeleteWonderful backdrop. Amazing what you did with just some fruit, a bowl and a brick backdrop!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Marilyn!
DeleteI would say that the biggest problem with my participation in Be Still - Two is the lack of good backgrounds! (Well, inadequate light might be the real issue.) I'm contacting men relatives who might have some old barn wood that I can use! I think you did a wonderful job of taking advantage of your situation....snack fruits and that brick background. (Granddaughter is cute, too!)
ReplyDeleteI'm regretting not signing up for Be Still, yet know, with all that's going on right now in my life, such as my daughter's upcoming wedding, I probably would not have time to do it justice.
DeleteA great backdrop love your Granddaughter .
ReplyDeleteThanks, Viv!
DeleteAhhh, the reflection in the table in that second one - so lovely!
ReplyDeleteAnd while shooting it, I didn't notice the reflection in the table all that much. More luck than skill I guess!
DeleteI always love to see photos of apples and a brick wall is always a great background.
ReplyDeleteSarah, I love photos of fruit and food photography in general is one of my favs. Thanks for your kind comment!
DeleteI second the ahhh over that reflection! Lovely work, Elizabeth!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, thanks!
Deleteoh my... i do LOVE a brick wal.... beautiful photos ...

ReplyDeleteDebbi
You are so sweet!
DeleteLove the brick background and the beautiful reflection you have capture...makes the apples stand out..
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Cheryl!
DeleteBeautiful backdrops and good light are hard to come by. You certainly did a great job with these shots. Your granddaughter is beautiful...\\
ReplyDeleteNancy, I definitely don't have this great light at my house, nor the wonderful brick wall!
DeleteLovely images and a beautiful granddaughter!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I think she's pretty wonderful, too!
DeleteDefinitely a nice backdrop. Even photographed alone would make nice wallpaper. Lovely photos and your granddaughter is a beauty. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteBeautiful work!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Tammy!
DeleteLovely photographs, Elizabeth. What kind of camera do you work with?
ReplyDeleteDayle, I have a Nikon D7000. At the top of my blog there's a link tab that shows you my camera and various lenses.
DeleteThanks!
DeleteYes, that's a great background, with the reds that complement the red apples. And your granddaughter is adorable. Love her whimsical expression!
ReplyDeleteSharon, I love this photo of my granddaughter, too. She's two years older and already lost much of the little girl look that this photo still has.
DeleteWonderful. Love the reflections in the table top. And, the red brick, red apples, and green grapes . . . very nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Earl!
