"Sea Apple"
Day 46 of an Unknown Number
"Sea Apple"
This was the image I had intended on shooting the other day when it morphed into a potato reclining on a chaise. I have no idea. Now, I don't talk about apples much these days, but this one is noteworthy. I picked up a few of these a couple of months ago, and was blown away by the taste. I'm not a religious man, but I'll be damned if these apples don't taste like Christmas!! They are firm, sweet, and have a little spice to them. They really do make eating apples fun again. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you.......the Lady Alice. As for the lighting, I went with one strobe.....one very large, overkill strobe. Directly at camera-left is a rather large, shallow Octa bank. It is basically a large umbrella with diffusion. The size and close proximity provide the nice wrapping of light. The falloff is rather abrupt, so there is a bounce board at camera-right. It just fills in the shadow a bit on the unlit side. It also gives that highlight on the edge of the shark's tooth. For me, that is what makes the image interesting, along with area in which the tooth enters the apple's flesh. Please, whatever you do, do not look for any meaning to this image. It is pretty much just an apple with a shark tooth in it. Or.......is it? It is. Or........................is it? Thanks for taking a moment.
