Description

Shot in RAW with my Sigma Macro lens. Set up was simple - spritzed the apple with water then placed it on a piece of cardboard (purchased at WalMart - they have lots of colors). Lit with a flashlight over 20 seconds.

PP included levels/curves, Lucis Art (very very minimal layer), a couple of layers applied with generous eraser to remove strong highlights, gaussian blur, color balance, color saturation, sharpen, save for Web.

Exif: F Number: 45, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 20/1 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 105.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT
