I haven't done any "Painting with Light" in a very long time. I like the results so I think I'll give it a go for this challenge if I have time. CJ

so you don't need to buy light Room because you do it yourself?

Thanks Penny, Carole, Kiki, Mary Anne & Y:-) If it wasn't for Mary Anne's comment I wouldn't have known wot you were talking about Kiki. Carole, I used two torches (flashlights) one on the left just sitting on the bench wiv a white peice of paper over it & just lifted the bottom of the paper to get the highlight on the lower left of the tomato & the other torch in me right hand. I had both torches lit to get exposure & during the half sec exposure time I just moved the torch in me right hand to get the shadow where I wanted it but I kept the right hand torch moving up & down during the exposure. It's sort of called painting wiv light Room lights were off.

Good one, Rod. Looks like a skinny (and belligerent) cousin of the Jolly Green Giant standing on top of that tomato. The dramatic lighting is very nice.

Nice tomato shot Rod - did you grow this as it looks like it might have come from your garden. I like your directional lighting - kitchen window or ? CJ
