AuntiPode Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #1 · More from the fruit series As I mentioned my fruit series, here are a few more from the series for comments: Jan 22, 2010 at 03:14 AM

simdoc1 Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #2 · More from the fruit series Boy, that's VIVID! Somehow, #1 is the most appealing to me. I assume that you wanted a "shiny" effect and chose to light in a way that produced the the hot spots. Delicious! Jeff Jan 22, 2010 at 02:09 PM

AuntiPode Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #3 · More from the fruit series Yes, Jeff. I used two LED flashlights to round the fruit with light and splash on highlights to make them sparkle. Because the subjects were so simple, the images had to be about color and lighting. Notice on the third image the subject contrast between the shiny mandarin orange and the matt ya pear. That image was about the spectral/non-spectral reflectivity. The ya pear is basically white, which is a high level of non-spectral reflectivity. The mandarine is a darkish orange with less reflectivity for certain wavelengths, but has substantial spectral reflectivity, rendering bright white highlights. Jan 22, 2010 at 09:40 PM

2urn Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #7 · More from the fruit series Wow... your lighting (bright sharp high contrast) and the "finish" on the mandarins and really suggest an almost artificial nature: waxy or perhaps genetically modified organisms too vivid to be real... which creates a tension: if they were female subjects I would be wondering if those breasts were natural :-) ...not sure if that's what you intended but it's cool.

AuntiPode Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #8 · More from the fruit series The directional light from the LED torches made them sparkle. The fruit really was that shiny. (I suspect the produce department waxes it. - It's a fairly common practice. I also buffed them gently.) I did re-touch a few blemishes with PS. I suppose if I'd left them in place the fruit wouldn't look perfect, but I wanted them to look perfect. Jan 29, 2010 at 05:45 AM

Sam tran Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #9 · More from the fruit series So vivid that just looking at these images, I got enough vitamin C already Truly amazing capture color with lighting Auntipode. Sam Feb 13, 2010 at 04:20 AM

Kaden K. Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #10 · More from the fruit series I like this ongoing sensual affair of yours with fruits. More...pleeeeeeeeeease. Feb 15, 2010 at 06:24 AM

Gregg B. Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #11 · More from the fruit series Can you share what are these fruits laying on? Is this a glass, mirror or just some shiny polished metal plate etc. Feb 16, 2010 at 08:09 AM

AuntiPode Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #12 · More from the fruit series Ordinary mirror. (Some slight double reflections reduced in PP.) I've since obtained a new/old stock ferrotype plate to function as a front surface mirror to avoid or reduce the need for double reflection PP retouching. Feb 17, 2010 at 12:16 AM

AuntiPode Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #13 · More from the fruit series Thanks 2urn! Thanks, Sam! Kaden, with luck I'll have some time in a few weeks to consider extending the series and test my ferrotype plate. Feb 17, 2010 at 12:20 AM

Kaden K. Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #14 · More from the fruit series Oooooooh, I look forward to seeing that. It would look awesome. Tintype those suckers. PS. Check out the creative usage of Potassium Ferricyanide by this photographer: Lillian Bass http://www.latimes.com/features/image/la-ig-0207-bassman-pictures,0,2349287.photogallery Feb 17, 2010 at 04:04 AM

AuntiPode Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #15 · More from the fruit series Sorry to disappoint. It's not a tintype ferricyanide process plate. It's a chrome plated steel sheet of the type used to make extra glossy silver prints. Wax the ferrotype sheet/tin/plate, squeegee on the wet print and optionally gently heat. When dry, the print with a high gloss shine pops-off the surface of the sheet. (Found it on US Ebay.) It would be good with traditional printing but for now it serves as a front surface mirror that isn't fragile. Feb 17, 2010 at 04:43 AM

Kaden K. Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #16 · More from the fruit series Yes, I see. I have used it before. Interestingly lately I have been spending inordinate amounts of time printing in FB glossy mainly. I have been using both bleach and toning as well for pop. Feb 17, 2010 at 04:54 AM
