Vidalia Slice of Life: 

So continuing on my project of shooting things with the flash behind them, illuminating through the subject, I decided to try some onions. This is a vidalia onion, and you can see a few pieces of skin on it if you look closely. I liked that this one had two centers to it.
Strobist: flash about 1 foot behind orange with homemade snoot. Fired via built in wireless flash at 1/8th power.

The White Rings: 

This was the best of my three onion shots. I really like the green in the middle and the clear whiteness of the rings. Also the angles of refraction in the onion create some nice effects.

Red Echo Rings:
Here is my last onion of this day of images. This was really the one I expected to be really good, but it turned out not to be the best onion. I will defiantly have to retry a red onion again; you just can’t tell what the onions will be until you cut into it. Also as you can see on the bottom my poster board is taking a beating from the juices and needs to be replaced. Strobist: flash about 1 foot behind orange with homemade snoot.

The Leafy Perch: 

This isn’t a particularly great shot, but it was a nice closeup of a butterfly as I played with my flash.
Strobist: flash handheld about 2 feet to the left of the lens. Triggered by built in wireless system.

Fall Color: 

Fall always produces some really nice colors, and I just really liked how this single yellow leaf looked against the stark gray background of cement.

Rusted Waves: 

I’m not sure the name of this sculpture, but it reminds me of a set of waves; in an odd vertical way. But here are two of the units about 6 feet apart, and I thought it created a nice looks overlapped like at this angle.

The Light From Buddha’s Hand: 

This one here is a Citron, the fingered or Buddha’s Hand variant. THis is sliced directly from the point where all the fingers are splitting off the main part of the fruit. I had to slice the bottom a bid to get it to stand up. If I try anything on the back to stand it up, it blocks the flash.
