Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Like Gary, I like the concept, but I feel it is let down by the lighting. The orange is brightly lit from the left with a fairly hard source. OTOH, the apple is much more softly lit and from the right. It bothers me.
Yes, I know there are more than one light for both photos, but it is the dominant fell that applies here.

I was working at the close focus point of the lens and wanted as much DOF as possible.

The lighting was fairly low, so I used the lcd screen on the shooting camera to get to the exposure I wanted.

The lcd of the subject camera was on, showing the photo of the orange taken earlier.

Tricky exposure because the camera and the background are really dark.
