thanks for the nice comments guys and girls...i really like this camera and i feel a tad more liberated to just shoot at random now, seeing as how there is no developing. :lol:

Classic shot. The lower left apple is freaking me out a little bit. Leaving the lab out of the mix was weird for me. I still miss the anticipation of picking up the film and saying "Whoa!! that turned out great!!!" Having the lab in your house is very liberating.

i used my magnetic lasso, and trace around the apples. then i created a background layer of everything minus the apples, then i used the layers adjustments and turned it black.

It's a good shot due to color but i think the PS on the apples on the left really wrecks the shot. It didn't set in until craig said something but now I can't get past it. It's like knowing Shannon Doughtery's eyes are crooked. I just can't look at her in the face anymore with out being weirded out ( no offense to crooked eyed folks

).
