we salute you mighty butternut
this was my very 1st attempt doing a still life, contrary to popular believe shooting one of these arent as easy as it might seem, have to get that lighting and setting on camera just right. this has not been touched up with any program , if you would like larger print, please contact me, for some reason this says isnt big enough for anything other then a card, thanks

Nice job. I recently completed a whole Unit on lighting for my photography course, and used squash and gourds – very fun and interesting. You nailed the lighting – what was the setup? I’m guessing a relatively high main light, about 20 to 40 degrees to the right of the camera, with possibly (but not definitely) a reflector board?

thanks mk, actually all i used was a lamp over this black material i used as a backdrop, had alittle light behind me, and that was it, you are right about the light at an angle
and, had the ISO set as high as it would go, exposure compensation at it’s max a +2, i would have to look to see if i shot this in aperture mode, or SS mode, and that was it
thanks so much for the comment
