Food macro –strawberry

We had a wonderful time last night at the NIA,pity that it took so long to get out of the car park.
Today’s photo is inspired by DSLR User Magazine,February issue. Here is a link to their masterclass video DSLR TV –Kitchen Macro Masterclass. I found some strawberries in the fridge,picked the best one and spend some time setting up the environment. The A4 coloured card and papers I got from the PayPerBox stall at the Patchings Festival came in handy. I photoshopped in the highlights on the spoon handle,otherwise exactly as taken. I’m happy with this for a first attempt –now to choose some perfect fruit.
