Fruit - Strawberries

I used a softbox as background dialed all almost all the way down to give a white background. A softbox from camera right and a reflector camera left. I placed the strawberries on a skewer one by one so they all got similar light.
I put the nine strawberries in separate layers in Adobe Elements 6 and used blur and scale to try and give an impression of depth.

ISO 200, f/13.0, 1/100 - RAW

Cheers,

Hi Jens,

A very clever idea, I love the colours here... wonderful contrast, dof and sharpness, the details is very nice too... I also like your framing that is slim and not taking away the highlight of your photo.:D Infact, this is really artistic, it also remind me of some of the "breakfast" ads... when they drop the strawberries into the bowl! Nice work!!!


have a good weekend,

Cheers,
Sweety

Jens

enfoque e idea bien lograda te felicito
