F is for Fruit Gums (Candy)

Omnomnom. These look a little sinister, but you know I reckon if I reach out when the kids aren't looking then......
Thanks for calling by to see my grumpy pheasant Freddy and all my frivolous offerings. Mwah!

Haha, good luck getting your share with kids around ;-)

Nice shot, Phil.. I'm gonna have to see if the other half can get me some of those. Nice job capturing the texture.

Actually, they look quite edible, Phil! I can see the sinister part just a bit, though. Did you take the original photo in color?

[Padlock]

Good lighting how did you do that? Can nearly chew on them.

[Mary]

Great lighting!

@donhoupt Hi Don! I took the photo in colour and in B&W but the B&W came out too dark so I processed the colour shot instead. Seems the camera was set at a low exposure (doh) so that explains it. I'm doing a month in B&W so I've left the camera on B&W for now. I'll curse when I do a colourful shot and forget to swap it back! :)

@padlock Hi Padlock! I put the sweets on the side of a white lamp in a dark room. The shot was unintentionally under-exposed which I guess added to the sinister feel...!

I love how they're kind of glowing. I love fruit gums but haven't seen them on sale for ages...not that I've looked tbh! xx

Lovely presentation, they almost look like they are quivering.
