Honey, You So Sweet <3

    held the spoon with the left hand while shooting with the right. quite an effort trying to hold the complete setup steady at 70mm, 1/30s and f/2.8. that being said, i think the AF has locked onto the front edge of the spoon quite well.

    altered levels in PS to blacken the background, and some USM too

    i guess this is appropriate too

      very cool! how did you use your flipit here?

      thanks!
      i had the diffuser angled slightly forward
      and the flip it angled slightly back
      i believe they are weaker settings

      sorry, but I think there is something wrong with focus...
      I think you must try one time more!

      yea 70mm at f/2.8 results in a razor thin depth of field
      plus my shaky hands
      tough to get razor sharpness =\
      might give something similar a go another time =]
