This setup was shot out of doors in shade. Post-processing was done in LrC. It was shot with the Olympus E-M5 Mark II at 1/125, f/11, 13mm, ISO 100. Post-processing was done using Lightroom Classic. I had fun playing around with various fruits and vegetables that I found in the refrigerator. I used a card table with a table cloth draped over it for the background. I shot about 125 images the day I was doing this image.
