Silver, ivory, basil, trout
Solid silver and ivory fork coming from a set made in the 1850s. Always was in my Mom’s side of the family in Brittany. The fork is quite small, it is a dessert thing, or possibly used for small foodstuffs like snails or oysters.
Smoked trout with basil.
Single exposure with the Micro–Nikkor 85mm f/2.8 tilt–shift macro lens, tilted alongside the axis of the fork for increased depth of field.
Shot taken for my Macro Mondays group, “Fork” theme.
Strobist and technical: One Phottix Pro Indra500 monolight on a Profoto boom stand in backlit Rembrandt position to camera left, 2 meters from subject and 1 meter above it, firing horizontally at ¼ power through a Luxlight 30 × 140–cm stripbox with double diffuser. White card reflectors in the back and to camera right.
Strobe set and triggered via Phottix Pro Odin II radio controller on the Nikon Z7 hot shoe, manual mode. Gitzo GT3543 XLS tripod with Arca–Swiss Cube C1 geared head. Nikon Z7 camera body, Micro–Nikkor 85mm f/2.8 PC–E tilt–shift lens, manual focus. FTZ adapter.
