Apple tarts
Almond pastry.
Cookist: I grew the apples, bought the flour, butter and ground almonds, sugar, vanilla essence, lemon for juice in the glaze and zest in the pastry, apricot jam. The tiny crumbly bits of pastry are gorgeous, really, you are lucky to even get a sight of them.
Strobist: Canon flash on hotshoe as master on max diffusion pointed up with card deployed, handheld 430EX2 modified with velcroed bundle of black drinking straws aimed at front tart, ETTL with Canon's communication system.
Gimpist: Exposures combined as layers, smart sharpened and curved a little etc.
Lensist: Canon 50/1.8 with rather noisy focussing stopped down for DoF. I tried it with the short extension tube, but the magnification was more than I wanted.
Tripod, self-timer.
