Notes on Image

Gallery 1: 27. Tomato (September 2006 in Toronto)

12x18 inches. Canon Rebel XT with Canon 17-55 mm lens at 28 mm; 1/60 second; f/4.5; ISO 400.

I photographed this beefy red tomato on my kitchen table. It reminds me of a large fist. I like how the focus fades off quickly until it gets quite fuzzy at the back of the tomato. The original image was very dark so I lightened it in Rawshooter and Photoshop, with the result that there is a fair bit of noise in the shadow (which gives the image part of its atmosphere).
