I haven't posted for a while or played with my camera very much recently so this post is a 'killing two birds with one stone' post.

I wasn't too interested in going on a big trip this weekend so I decided instead to pick an object I had around the flat and try and see how many types of pictures I could obtain from that single object. I picked some apples I had and proceeded to take varying shots of it. I fiddled with different ways of lighting it from simply standing them next to the window to using a torch with coloured filters to illuminate it. I had to improvise tripods in a lot of cases, which was amusing, and several of my books and a vice I made during engineering workshop training all took turns to provide perches for my subject and my camera. Once I'd taken a number of pictures I decided I wanted an interesting way to show them off and thinking back to a sampler stained glass window my mother made many years ago I decided that would be a good theme. I also wanted to creatively title the piece so had some fun with Blu-Tak and the top of my dining room table. The result is below.

Apple Sampler: A sampler image of apples. Clockwise from top left: infrared, green filter, shot of the skin, duotone, shot of the stalk, yellow torchlight.

Let me know what you think?
