Richelieu
Richelieu is the type of French pâté en croûte that has truffle and foie gras in it. Yummy !
Originally, I thought I might use this slice with a fork for the eponymous theme of my Macro Mondays group; however, I ended up using smoked trout and therefore, I had to “recycle” the pâté en croûte in another food photograph!
Single exposure with the Micro–Nikkor 85mm f/2.8 tilt–shift macro lens.
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 Phottix Pro 110–cm octabox 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.
