Day 86 - Falling apple

This one was achieved with some post work.  I usually prefer in-camera / flash cleverness, but I thought I could do use the practice.


The apple was actually stuck on some cocktail sticks to throw a shadow underneath.  This was better than shooting it flat on the surface and adding a shadow as the reflection in the bottom of the apple would have been a give away.  In hindsight, positioning the light to throw a shadow directly under the apple might have looked better for this effect, but it wouldn't have lit the apple as nicely.
