Photos: Purim, A Still Life

I had a bit of time on Purim, so I decided to attempt a still life.

I tried this concept back in 2008, but I just couldn't get it right. At that point, I hadn't mastered the relationship between aperture and depth of field, I was still learning the basics of composition and I was using a less sophisticated camera. Last year I didn't have the time to try and correct it, but this year I had an opportunity on Purim afternoon. So I took out my tripod, arranged the elements of the picture on the dining room table and snapped away. This was the result:




Canon XSi, 18-55mm lens at 27mm, f/22, 1/4 second, ISO 800.
