F is for Figs

Most people like the shot below, but I have a soft spot for these two just sitting in the fading light, having a quiet chat to each other. (Maybe I’ve spent too much time in isolation???)

Fujifilm XT-2
60mm Macro Lens
f/11
1 sec + Tripod and self timer.
ISO 400

Window light + reflector (A4 Printer paper)
Base is an upside down pizza tray. Background is a chopping board leaning on the microwave.

Tip #1 Cut figs long ways. I discovered this AFTER I’d cut mine across. Maybe the tip should be to do your research before, not after.

Tip #2 Always choose a food you like so you can eat it afterwards. (note: food is not always edible after a photoshoot, but it’s worth a try)
