Tomatoes

Hiya!


This photo was taken in Cornwall, in one of the villages I visited there.

I was walking along and waited behind the tomatoes to let someone past, so decided to take a photo whilst I was there.

Don't worry, hiding behind barrels of tomatoes is not a frequent activity of mine ;)

I love the focus on the tomatoes in the rustic barrel, and the colourful banners across the street in the background.

This photo reminds me of calm, quaint country villages and bustling shoppers at the same time. It may just be me, as when I see this photo, I see a calm scene. But I hear the noises that were around me at the time I shot this, and those were loud chatter and car engines.

Of course, you wouldn't know that, so maybe this photo isn't as great to you as it is to me?

It takes me back to the summer holidays, and that's the best thing about this.

In terms of editing (some people might be interested), I don't do much to my photos. I prefer capturing better shots rather than sitting editing for hours on a computer, though that's just my personal opinion.

I added some warmth to this photo, to make it glow a little more. It's not something I usually do, though I just felt it lacked the warmth in this particular one. I also increased the saturation/vibrance and the contrast, the things that make my photos a whole lot better.

My tip - for any photo, increase the contrast. Some require more, some less, that's all up to you. But doing this makes any scene look much cooler :)


I love you
