It was shot on a Pentax K20D with the built in flash as fill flash.
So continuing my fruit and veg theme I’ve photographed an apple in a black bowl.
I have an old spray bottle that used to come in a kit form with the Tamron 90mm macro. I used that to spray water over the apple and bowl before taking the shot with a Pentax K20 and 16-45mm lens.
The light is my diy ringlite (parts from B&Q) I decided to crop square as that suits the subject better.
I have a new theme to introduce to my photo365 blog – fruit and veg. I will from time to time use my daily post for a different way of shooting fruit and veg. This one is lit just with my Gorillatorch
I placed the Pentax K-5 on a tripod set the shutter to 30 seconds at f/4 and tripped it. I then painted the pineapple with light placing emphasis on the sides to give a rim light type effect, trying not to spill onto the background (black velvet)
I quite like the lush feel it’s given this tropical fruit.
The garden is full of berries at the moment, and this captures one of the species. It’s another shot with the toy lens that I reviewed a few weeks ago. I played around pointing into the sun to introduce flare, but settled back on this shot which has incredible spiralling blurred out of focus bits to make the image almost hypnotic. It’s a real fun lens to use for unusual effects.
