Meat Your Maker part 2

   Thanks for coming back, dear reader.  This is the unveiling of the second part to the "Meat Your Maker": A Field to Factory Triptych. I call this one "RMCBOVINE" was again is short for Red McDonalds Bovine.  I touched up on the color theory of the pieces previously in posts, and I suppose it will be more evident when the third piece comes out later this week.  How so ever you can get the theming between pieces just from these two.  Red and yellow being primary colors, while orange and this time around purple taking the secondary color spot.  The nice people at a neighboring farm from Hillbunker Farms, Windy Acre Farms, let me on to their property to shoot, and was able to nail the shot after only a few minutes with little to no difficulties.  The gradient used was more of a black leading to the burger shot.  Now I'm not putting McDonalds, a Chicago company, on blast but I'm not foolish enough to not see that McDonalds has been and continues to be the punching bag of an example for anybody and everybody.  They are also picture perfect at most any given time as of late, which does helps fish out its poor image the last few decades.  Beyond the burger, the style of "urban art" which the burger is made is reminiscent of magazine, newspaper, or billboard ads utilizing  a halftone style. Look really close at print ads and still to this day some utilize this style of halftone printing. It gives certain images color tones while saving on ink, and in black and while it can give shades of grey with little effort.  Something I always noticed ever since I was little, and shoved my face real close to pictures to see the style of images in magazines and books.  That covers this edition of Meat Your Maker, join me later this week as I wrap up this triptych.  I'll be putting this and much more later this Summer as Bendersama Photography redesigns the site and fills the shop up a bit more.  Until then, take care and thanks for stopping by!
