The Apple

Today, I got inspired to break out the camera and shoot an apple.

 

Low and behold, I was missing a battery in my flash. So, no strobe lighting here!

 

I used a small LED flashlight that you put on your head when you go hiking!

 

I also used a mirror to fill in the shadows on the opposite side of the apple.

 

The 50mm stopped down to f1.8. Hand held!

 

It's wierd cuz f1.8 doesn't keep much in focus, giving it a "painted" look. The apple being round, there is only be a few points fully in focus.

 

Go on... have a bite!
