About the Image(s)
I was shopping at a local “farmers market” and came across these interesting vegetables (in green). I don’t know what they were called, of even how best to cook them but they were so interestingly shaped that I thought it might be fun to shoot them..
I set this shot up in my extensive studio (living room on the living room table). This images was taken with my Canon 7d Mark II camera using a 100 mm Macro lens (f/14, ½ second, ISO 400). The camera was tripod mounted (allowing the longer exposure), and the vegetables were placed on a piece of black glass. Ambient light from the front window (at 11:00 AM) was used.
The image was processed in Photoshop where I removed dust spots, darkened the background and added a bit of micro-contrast and sharpening. Not of lot of processing was required with this image.
This round’s discussion is now closed!

Maybe, I would decrease somewhat the contrast, especially in case of the tomatos   Posted: 07/08/2017 00:34:09
If I had to suggest any change, it would be to warm up the image slightly to reduce the blue cast in the highlights, but that is very subjective and a matter of personal taste. I just happen to like things warmer (maybe it is these 100 plus degree days we are getting here in Northern California)!   Posted: 07/18/2017 16:57:30
