The mandate Jim chose was a good op****tunity for me to illustrate how the
visual and tactile can meld.
I chose the apple and the cup because I knew the bumpy, translucent
material of the cup would produce an interesting highlight pattern, as
long
as the exposure was controlled. If I set the flash too high, the
background
tended to gray out so much that the highlights weren't very pronounced.
And, of course, if I underexposed too much, there was nothing to see.
While the final result is a bit dark, I think it does a good job of
conveying how using the sense of touch can produce a subject / background
combination as visually distinctive as it is tactually interesting.
I hope everyone enjoyed the pic.
Take Care,
Dudley
