Day 16

In the days of Edward Weston, I'm sure it was a lot easier to find twisted vegetables to photograph.  Modern quality control at Sainsburys rather limits such opportunities now.  These week, however, we got lucky and bought a freak!

With today's effort I was trying to work on controlling the lighting of my fortuitously misshapen pepper.  I used a single flash with a piece of muslin hung over the front to soften the specular highlights while retaining quite a hard light source to give shape.  The flash was angled away from the background to avoid spilling too much light over it.  I also reflected a little light back on the right to keep some detail in the shadowed side.
