The other night I brought some berries to work to go with my waffle I was having for lunch. (Emily bought them for dinner...and I swiped them.) The red raspberries show up fairly well against the crappy backdrop I have here...well...the side of the computer tower on the desk. Hey. Ya work with what ya got.
Adapt and overcome.
Well, I wanted to shoot the blackberries instead since they were freaking huge. I mean, like the size of my thumb! So, I improvised. I just switched to my 50mm lens - which I am a little more comfortable using - too. I wanted a makeshift lightbox, so I draped the unperforated paper towels we have in the office from the top of the computer tower down over the desk to make a seamless backdrop. I then sat Chuck at the closest focal distance possible and set him for a timed shutter release. This cuts down on my shaky camera hands.
Voilà.
Crazy sharp close-ups of blackberries.
