Photo Experiments

I’ve been playing with how to get a bit more out of our camera. It’s a dinosaur, and stinks at indoor photos. Nevertheless it seems a total waste to just toss it for a new one. So I built this:

Honestly build is overstating, It’s just a lamp and some fabric. And with it I got:

These are the first radishes out of the garden. I really like the effect of the photos.

Things I learned:

  1. I need to do this away from a window or with the curtains drawn. I got too many shadows.
  2. Radishes are probably a bit too dense for this…Our bluebells are blooming, so I plan to ry some of those tomorrow.
  3. I need to iron the fabric first. Wrinkles!

    Very cool. You might want to check out “Strobist”, he has lots of great photo/lighting information.

    I love photographing vegetables too! I used to do it all the time when I had a garden that actually had sunlight and thusly things would actually grow! I also love radishes! Ours here are just sprouting though…
