Stone Fruit

[dropcap]D[/dropcap]id a quick stone fruit shot in the studio using nectarines, peaches, plums and apricots. A couple of things I try to do with still life food shots is really work on the lighting to make it look natural. Then I locate some kind of background that works - in this case it was one side of an old pallat. After than I try to arrange what I have into something interesting. Obviously I wanted to show the stone, or pit. The nectarine worked best for this. Some of the stones didn't look too great even after cutting them as they were the cling type. Oh well. They still got used pretty well.
