Having to post daily photos does strange things to one’s sense of perception! An uninspiring visit to the waterfront this morning left me with nothing I wanted to use for my blog, but, as I was unpacking my groceries later, I became entranced by the curves and changing patterns of my oranges in their mesh bag. Seriously.

I decided that this year I wouldn’t post my camera settings unless they were interesting or unusual. They were unusual for me today. The oranges and mesh were so reflective that I had an issue with getting enough detail. I finally turned the kitchen light off and shot away from any window light- thus needing a 13 second exposure. In post-processing, I decreased luminance even more.

This is wonderful. The color pallet is fabulous. i’m not sure if you hadn’t described the subject, I would have known what it was, but that’s the beauty of macro. Really nice shot.
