lime – photoblog of a fruit

Location:

At home, kitchen.

The Setup:

Sunday morning, fresh loaf of bread, and a discussion about Vegemite on Reddit fresh in my mind. I stopped down the aperture so that the Vegemite jar in the background would be recognisable. At this point I was holding the knife with one hand and the camera with the other. Later on I tried elevating the bread with a butter lid, and asked Lui to hold the knife so I could use a longer exposure, but I was happier with this earlier shot.

The camera & lens:

Camera: Canon EOS 400D DIGITAL
@ 27/1mm
Exposure: 1/30" @ f/16/1, ISO 1600

Post processing:

Lightroom - I didn't do a lot to this picture. I'd composed it in camera, all that was needed was some slight mid-tone curve adjustment (as always), and I used the clarity bar to highlight the detail in the out-of-focus parts of the bread.

The wash-up:

Pretty happy with this one.

What do you think?

All constructive criticism is welcome! Please let me know what you think, and what you don't like about the picture. Everything is on the table, including the setup, equipment used, and the post processing. Nothing is off-limits and I'm always eager to learn!
