Apple and red cabbage, before "sauerkraut" | Still Life | Photography
 |
|---|
It's red cabbage season here in "La Puerta." During harvest time, farmers tend to give away surplus and unsalable produce to friends and neighbors.
This 1:1 composition feels cramped; there's not enough space around it.A farmer friend brought us almost 5 kilograms of red cabbage. Although at home we like to eat it raw in salads, we decided to preserve it with vinegar, like “Sauerkraut” (with apologies to our German friends, experts in the laborious preparation of this dish).
### Still Life + Photography
But I'm not here to talk to you about culinary art, but about still lifes and photography, following @tezzmax's suggestion. I remembered still lifes just as we had already chopped the cabbages for slicing.
Maybe I'll decide to draw this one, I'm thinking about it.I took half of one of the cabbages and an apple to find a composition to "portray." Here I share some of the shots that I found interesting and aspiring to become still lifes.
Still Life Photography
My Interpretation & Process
I focused on using clippings to find the best frame for the still life I want to paint, experimenting in both vertical and horizontal orientations. 📸 However, I felt a third element was missing from the composition.
The sauerkraut
I felt I had to at least share my breakfast dish: Red cabbage sauerkraut with fresh curd on 5-grain toast. It sounds like a restaurant dish, 🤣🤣 and it's very good.

Из всех вариантов этот мне понравился больше
Я бы ещё поиграл с рисунком кочерыжки и срезом качана :))
Это может быть и ствол дерева, и ракета и всё-что-угодно :))
Но это было бы уже не про натюрморт)

For something similar to restaurant food, it lacks a touch of presentation. I'm honest, you already know hahaha, but it's quite healthy, there's no doubt about it.
I like what you say in the post. People give away their products, they don't throw them away like other places, and we see people taking them out of the trash.It is sad to see food waste and many people needing food, something very regrettable.
I wish you a happy Tuesday.

It's a good idea, I'll see when I can take the photos.

I prefer to participate in contests. I wish you a happy Thursday.
Okay, I think you'd do well. You have a good eye.
Never mind. If you ever want to do it, we can talk.
Interesting.
What a shame 😂 I'm referring to the name of the dish. 😂😂
I definitely have a long way to go to take good food photography.
I'll tell you, sometimes, if they throw away surplus produce or even the harvest itself, they're complaining about prices or the prices drop significantly.
Thanks for commenting.

With us and for sure in more countries where the market is dominated the food is thrown away because too many farmers harvest and sell on the same day. The farmer therefore recieves a small tip and what is not thrown away will be sold for the same high price as before on markets and in shops.
The sad thing is that there are so many people needing food, children dying of hunger,and some people throw away what could feed others

Are the Germans the experts or is it more that the German name is used/more familiar than those who prepare the same foid (a way to preserve it which takes months)?
Kimchi for example but also the "sauerkraut" (zuurkool =sauer cabbage) we used to prepare in ceramic pots. Fermented foid seems to be very healthy. I am not such a red cabage fan (hard to digest and still nightmares about the way it was cooked during my childhood - it totally lost it's colour 😐).
Yours looks good though.
🍀♥️
Of course, the German term was more widespread in Western culture before globalization. Now we realize that they are preserved foods (some in brine, others in vinegar, among other types).
