Visual Archive Image

My internship advisor at NCSU CVM has assigned a wonderful project to me called a visual archive. The goal of this project is to help me become more artistically eloquent. In my photography program the technical aspect is highly stressed and sometimes the creative part is forgotten; this project has me finding things that I find visually interesting and then dissecting why they interst me. It's really a great exercise. Anyway long story short this is an image I shot at NCSU CVM and I love it for many reasons, too many to list here.

Fruit Assignment for Bio Medical object Lighting PHO 225
This was shot with a Nikon FG with a 28mm-90 mm lens on Fuji Provia Chrome Daylight balanced. The exposure was 1 strobe flash @ F11, shutter speed was set on bulb to allow for use of flash light.. I used a Speedotron 2400 Power Pack hooked up to 2 strobes. I put a green gel on one of the strobes for background color. I dragged the shutter on the camera so I could fill in the shadow side using a flash light, this provides detail on the shadow side and yields a rich warm glow. Summer 2006
