Don't Sweat The Technique
Whenever I'm bored at home the first thing I do is pull out one of my cameras and start taking pictures of any and every inanimate object in my apartment. The lemon slice is one of my favorite images. Allow me to explain how I created it. I wanted a photograph of a lemon that appeared as if it was glowing. I sliced a lemon about one inch think and placed it on top of a sheet of paper towel. I used the sheet of paper towel because of it's texture. I then placed them both on top of a light source in order to illuminate it from behind. I set the camera on a tripod and photographd the lemon from above. And there you have it! My abstract lemon! :-) The same technique was used to photograph the kiwi.
