defiled
Clay Hackett
This photo is pulling double duty for both Strobist and Utata. I've never submitted to a Strobist challenge, nor have I participated in an Iron Photographer challenge before.
I know it's a little weird, but... what can you do?
Utata Iron Photographer 21
Strobist Challenge #7
The Strobist challenge is a macro shot with off-camera light. Utata wanted a close-up shot of fruit with something black.
So I put a lime in some black ink.
And no, I didn't eat it afterwards.
Strobist: One SB600, camera left, softened with a kleenex. Slight sharpening of the image with the GIMP.
The Iron Photographer Challenge
here are the elements for Iron Photographer 21:
1 - fruit
2 - something black
3 - close up
The first element, fruit, isn't quite as simple as it sounds. I mean, we generally think fruit is fruit. But there is actually a difference between botanical fruit and culinary fruit. There are a lot of things that are technically fruit but are used as vegetables in cooking...like peas or pumpkins or corn. What we're talking about here is the sort of fruit you eat as fruit. Bananas, plums, strawberries...that sort of thing.
The second element is easier. Something black is a black thing. An object that is black. Shadows don't count because a shadow is not an object.
Finally, close up means just that; the photograph must be taken from very near the objects in the photograph.
Okay, there it is. Now, everybody sing...We all live in a yellow submarine.
