A study in snacks

ISO 640 50mm f1.8 1/800 sec
Because sometimes you just wanna have fun. A study in snacks today. Shooting fruits and vegetables in the grocery store provides a good challenge for balancing existing light and glare on your subject. As many fruits and vegetables sold today in stores have a wax coating to help preserve them, you can get unwanted highlights. To counterbalance this shoot a little to the underexposed side of what your camera's meter reads at. However, only shoot one or two stops down so you don't lose too much image data. If you shoot where it meters, you will most likely get subjects that seem overexposed with overblown highlights.

Everything shot at ISO 640 with the 50mm.
