I decided to experiment with light this afternoon using my kitchen implement of choice when it comes to photography – a fork. After much experimentation (and assistance from Lucy who kept coming to inspect my progress!) I came up with this composition, lighting the fork from beneath with an LED light. I plumped for a black and white conversion to bring out the texture of the metal.

Very cool experimentation and final result Helen. The textured look is really nice. I am sure that Lucy is mostly responsible for the end result here. danrav · 2012-03-12: 15:17
