There’s always one in every barrel!—Thinly slicing fruits and vegetables and putting them on a light box was a grand experiment. With these compositions an important consideration is how to arrange an apparently arbitrary grouping while maintaining an underlying structure. With these Pink Lady apple slices, I intentionally left one apple stem intact so that there was something unique and differentiated for the viewer’s eye to begin processing the image.

Nikon D850, 100mm Zeiss Makro-Planar, seven exposures with shutter speeds ranging from 1/40 of a second to 1.6 seconds, each exposure at f/14 and ISO 64, tripod mounted.
