Photo365 - 339 - The Savoy

05/12/2011 - 23:30

While at Donna Nook I spotted this interesting textured cabbage...the Savoy (Capitata var. sabauda L.).

In the supermarket they're normally less interesting, but a farmer sells fresh produce at the car park field of Donna Nook. You also find sprouts on the stem etc.

I thought it would make in interesting photo so bought one for just 50p.

I placed it on a plastic table and backlit it with my home made ring light.

The centre of the cabbage was dark so I lit that with the Joby Gorilla Torch.

Exposure was 8 seconds at f/22 with ISO400 (I forgot to set that back to ISO100!) on the Olympus Pen E-P2 with 14-42mm lens.
