 I thought I'd try a new technique in this challenge. I had two apples of which one was eaten so only the core was left. I used a long shutter speed, 15 s. First I flashed the uneaten apple, then I switched it with the apple core and flashed again (manually). This made two different impressions of the apple in the same exposure. I used a slilghtly stronger flash on the core to make a stronger impression of it.
