Talenti: Minute Serving
Day 128 of an Unknown Number
"Talenti: Minute Serving"
This year I am making an effort to observe things at a new level. Where better to do that than in one's ice cream lid? Every time I open my pint-sized container of Talenti Peanut Butter....something, I have noticed the ice crystals on the inside of the lid. Today I decided to make an attempt at documenting the diminutive guys. Using my macro lens and my trusty extension tubes, I manually focused on the crystals...........and they melted immediately. I got off two exposures, and this was the first. The second image is of a tiny puddle. Not so interesting. There is a gridded strobe at camera-right, delivering the relatively soft shadows of our miniscule subjects. This is because of the relative size of the strobe head in relation to the minute crystals. The light source is rather small, but the subject is extremely small. Because of this, the light source is relatively large, and creates the relatively soft shadows. Thanks for taking a look!
