Challenge: Fruits and Vegetables II (Advanced Editing V)
Camera: Canon EOS-300D Rebel
Lens: Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM
Location: My Kitchem, Braintree, Essex, UK
Date: Feb 10, 2007
Aperture: 4
ISO: 100
Shutter: 15
Galleries: Still Life, Food and Drink
Date Uploaded: Feb 10, 2007

 Arranged the fruit and veg into a composition of my liking.
I then focused the camera with the kitchen light on. Turned to manual so the camera kept the same focus then switched off the kitchen light. Triggered the camera with the remote control and then highlighted parts of the vegetables with a little pinlight torch whilst the exposure was occuring i.e. painting with light.
In Photoshop, Levels, curves, brightness, satuation, burnt out the cooker and back wall. Sharpening.

Focus seems just a bit off, but composition is very classic.
