Would you believe this below shot was taken at a five-second exposure? We don't get very much light in this apartment (the next one hopefully won't disappoint in the light category!), so this was taken with this silly set-up. Then I shot tethered for a bit to humor J who was really into tethered shooting. (Though I must admit, shooting tethered was fun and useful for fixing little things like the focus being slightly off.)

Please excuse the horrendous "styling." This was only for experimental kicks, and to show off some our Greenmarket goods. Gosh, those donut peaches were ridiculous. So... peachy. I don't know how else to describe 'em, but they taste like a couple of normal peaches concentrated together. Sadly, those dahlias are now a dried mass in the trash. It's so sad how these cut flowers from the Greenmarket never last.
Below is just a closer up look at the detail. Pretty frickin' sharp for a five-second exposure, eh?
Love donut peaches :)
ReplyDeleteNICE! Just goes to show ya that sometimes a tripod is just what you need to get the job done. I'm starting to pull mine out of the closet more and more for around-the-house shooting, too. We get awesome evening light, but our apt faces West, so anytime before 4pm it's pretty dull in here.
ReplyDeleteYour "horrendous styling" looks awesome!
ReplyDeletehaha i agree with jackie.. "horrendous styling?!" pleeeease :)
ReplyDeleteLove the setup; nothing silly about it. As to the shutter speed, if it don't move, you're gold.
ReplyDeleteGreat post. Good luck on finding your "light."
you're rocking the tripod and high aperture. :)
