Paradise lost?

Thanks to _Rebekka and all the others who have tried this shot. I was trying to tie the technique in with a theme for a competition entitled 'Fall' (open to interpretation). The biblical 'Fall' of man from the Garden of Eden, and Newton's discovery of gravity. The photo is an attempt to interpret the conflict between religion and science, mmm.

    your theory is even more interesting then the picture, which is also very interesting and great (I also like the mixing of green & red).

    great.

    Interesting comment, I'd argue that religion and science go hand in hand; but thats another subject. Fab photo!

    I am curious wich technique you used to take this shot :) Great photo!

  36. petervanallen (58 months ago | reply)

    a 3 exposure hdr, narrow dof, focused on the apple, remote control release - the apple was supported by a fork which was attached to a long stick fixed to the wall directly behind and in line with the apple and the camera
