The first little tomato bud! For those that don’t know me, I can kill cactus. However I love tomatoes and couldn’t resist this little 4in Sungold at the Portland Farmer’s Market a month ago. Thanks to the advise from Francoise Weeks, my little 4in is now 4ft with this little guy showing up a day ago!
So for you techies: To get this shallow depth of field, I used my 50mm lens at f/2.0 at ISO 100 shooting at 1/320 sec. Used ambient light from window off to camera right. As I’ve suggested in past posts, its not the camera body but the use of fast fixed lenses that can create these shallow depth of field artsy looking images. Amazing what it does with a simple subject like this little tomato on the vine!
