Red Pepper Green Pepper by phil_howcroft

Red Pepper Green Pepper

On Thursday we had a practical evening at camera club i.e. we do some 'table top photography'.

Marlies brought her insects, Irene brought some miniature daffs and snowdrops, Dave brought a fish tank and some peppers and lemons.

I forgot my battery for my Canon 60D !

So for this shot I borrowed Irene's battery, Alans Tripod, Dave's remote flash. Richard threw the peppers in the tank and Steve held the flash.

Me ..well I manual focussed my camera, set it to ISO 100 and pressed click a few times on the count of 3, 2 , 1 drop !

This is the net result . The peppers hitting the water and making quite a few bubbles, shapes and colours

Hope you like.

Cropped, saturation boosted and a tad sharpening in GIMP.

I love it! A fav for all your ingenuity in making this shot happen. Great colors and bubbles.
