Unicorn Cake
I realized in working on this Macro Mondays challenge, "Slices," that I like eating food, not photographing it. My first attempt was of a sliced hard boiled egg. Hard boiled eggs don't look particularly photogenic up close. I sprinkled some paprika on it to spice it up, but it ended up looking like a crime scene. My wife asked me how it was going with the egg photograph and I replied that it tasted good. So, enter this subject.
Strobist/technical info:
This is an 8-image focus stack composite of a single Little Debbie sparkling strawberry unicorn cake. It measures one-inch wide. The cake slices were illuminated by two Nikon SB900 speedlights placed 90° CL/CR, two-feet away and eighteen-inches above the subject, pointing down at 45°. The speedlights were fired through Neewer 24" x 24" soft boxes in Manual mode @ 1⁄8 power.
The SB900's were triggered by three PocketWizard Plus X's.
Lens: Tokina AT - X M100 AF PRO D (AF 100mm f / 2.8 Macro).
