20091204 - Granny's Fruit Bowl

Playing the shapes game.

I did an SP in the woods with some twirls from the torch, but it just didn't 'fit' the gallery, so I grabbed the fruit bowl I inherited from granny and shot that instead :o)

The reason for going out was to try an experiment for my Night Life of Trees gallery. I had the idea of putting green cellophane over the flash (a plum-pudding wrapper) and setting a custom white-balance in the camera to counteract it, then see what it did to the sky. Well, it turned the sky a girly pink is what it did.
I mention it 'cos that was another attempt at a circle, but as you can see - it went a bit wonky! lol.

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM

Two great shots, the circle looks OK, you just need to run around the tree before you drink the wine ;-)
