lime – photoblog of a fruit

Location:

At home

The Setup:

I set up the tripod next to Bacardi's dinner table and attached the cable release. I gave Bacardi the dinner with one hand and snapped the shutter with the other.

The camera & lens:

Camera: Canon EOS 400D DIGITAL
@ 28/1mm
Exposure: 1/25" @ f/4/1, ISO 1600

Post processing:

Lightroom - Curves - lights +60, darks +40, shadows -35 - standard high contrast boost. Other than that, just a noise reduction (luminance +50). I tried some other adjustments (like a graduated filter to even out the light), but they didn't really add anything.

The wash-up:

This room isn't as well-lit as I thought. I took some later shots using my flouro strip light, but this one was a nicer composition.

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!
