Sparkling Grape

Sparkling Grape · 07:05 AM

I have been house bound lately and this is a result of what little 'spare' time I have. My family thinks I am nuts haha. Sigma 105 , cropped.

While they are delicious on their own - they have a much better use

I'm suddenly hungry Dave

They look great.

Do you have access to an off camera flash? If you do they can be lots of fun with similar shots.

Thanks Stu I do have the 540 flash - have not yet tried anything wireless. I think as I get more time I will play with flash and macro photography. I am hoping this summer to practice on some live subjects. Thanks for the tip.

Love the grapes! good work. I got a puffer for my on camera flash and I really like how it works. It's not perfect but I can get some nice shots with it and it is very inexpensive in the big scheme of things.

Thanks Rosemary I need to get out to some Brick and Mortar stores and have look at some defusers ....

It's amazing what you can come up with when your house bound and addicted to photography. Very nice captures Dave.

Pretty cool shots, my friend. I really enjoyed the "star" pattern of reflected light - you were stopped down a bit?

Great job, Dave.

Thanks k100d . As you can probably tell these grapes were held under the kitchen sink.
