L-L-La-La-Love this! Great color & light! It looks splendidly delish & somewhat like a deep sea critter or newly discovered amoeba! Congrats! Kim

There's nothing special here. That is part of the beauty.Equipment
Nikon D300, Nikon 105 Macro, Really Right Stuff Tripod, Light Table, and Alien Bees Umbrella.Inspiration
It's a funny thing really - in the process of slicing pears thinly, I thought, "this looks like a pair of lungs!" After slicing a number of pears, this seemed like the perfect slice for my experiment. The title is as important as the shot - Res pear ation - giving information to the viewer as to what this depicts in the creator's mind. Please be sure to check out my kiwi - "Total Eclipse of the Kiwi" - using the same technique and adding a corner mask to the image.Editing
All the work was done in the camera.In my camera bag
Besides my trusty D300, I like to keep an led flashlight, filters, a spray bottle of water, a black backdrop cloth, and of course my phone. The Really Right Stuff tripod is a piece of equipment that I am committed to - absolutely rock solid. There is no center column, which makes so much more sense in the field.Feedback
This shot inspired me to take additional shots of veggies & fruits, which are in my ViewBug Gallery. No all studio work should be so serious. Let your sense of humor shine and that of your fruit!
