Pomegranates
I'm always interested as to how others have taken photos so I thought I'd explain my process here. Setup: black paper under glass as the base, a piece of black velvet as the backdrop as it absorbs light, reading lamp to the left front and as the pomegranate quarter was too dark I shone a torch on it for 3 secs. Exposure was -2 EV,6 secs at 5.6, tripod with cable release. This then meant very little DD work - cropping, slight tweak of levels to make the blacks black and a little saturation and sharpening. All up about 3 minutes in Photoshop!
