I had some strawberries in the fridge, and I thought I would take a shot at taking photographs of them. The leaves are a little past perfect form, but they worked. For all of these shots, I shot near a window with lots of indirect light. I used no flash. A bit different for me, but thought it would be a good exercise. I also had two kids hanging around wanting to spray things with the spray bottle of water I had out.<\/p>\n

The shot above has the berries on a low table out a few feet from the window, so that I could fit between. There is a white poster board with a sheet of Plexiglas on top. The reflection is not very evident with the white background, and that is what I was looking for, so I switched to black.<\/p>\n

Now we have black poster board, with the Plexiglas on top. I lowered my angle a bit on this shot too. I like the reflection here. You can also tell just how important (and difficult) it is to get the Plexiglas clean. I could get that in Photoshop, but for this exercise, I didn’t feel like it. I then wondered what it would be like to bounce some light in from behind with the white poster board.<\/p>\n

This is still the same black poster board with Plexiglas on top, but the color that we got from them is quite a bit different when we added the white reflective surface from behind. I am not sure which on I like better.<\/p>\n

One thing I would do different next time, is go for more depth of field. I would need to get more than the f\/4 that I used. To do that, I would need a tripod. I was being lazy. These shots are using ISO 400 and 500, with shutter speeds of 1\/45th to 1\/15th of a second. That is really to slow to hand hold, especially if you wanted to get more depth of field.<\/p>\n

This was just a quick project I did in between family activities. Next time, a tripod, and maybe see about lighting it with flash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
