Michael had POPPIES! I almost had to change my pants when I saw them. Bought some pears, peaches and apricots to shoot with them and just used the pears and peaches. Borrowed a table cloth from work. Shot with two clamp lamps each with a 100w energy saving bulb on either side atop the shooting area with the light directed away from the subjects and a third that I held in front and down. Camera on tripod and used the cable remote release.
