Just me proving to myself that I can still do more than just shooting critters in zoos

Very nice......

I like that. Are you using a pen light behind it?

 

[Mattis]

Thanks!
Nope. I took out the fruit and stuffed one bulb of some white christmas lights inside it.
Then I removed the cord in Photoshop, this is actually a composite shot.

Nicely done then.

 

[Mattis]

Thanks!
Getting the lighting right was quite the pain... Proper lighting is something I don't have much experience with just yet^^

Nice

 

[Mattis]

Thanks!
Oh and I have a question. The little stem at the end is actually glued on because this particular fruit did not have one. I thought it makes for a more pleasing result, do you agree? I tried it without the stem and it just looked like something was missing in my opinion.

Mmmmm.... I really like the lightning, nicely done.

Oooo - I like it. Yes, I think the stem adds to it.
