On The Grill

I took this shot for a photo-contest with the theme, "Yellow".

I knew that yellow bell pepper are a common sight in stock photography, so I decided to shoot it differently.

Here's what I came up with:

Aperture information: f16
Shutter speed information: 1/200
ISO: 100
Strobist info:
- 580EXII on shoot through umbrella cam left, full power
- white reflector cam right
- 220ex with tons of colored and ND gels below subject, full power(you can't dial down the power settings on this flash, hence the ND gels)

I planned to have coal and flames underneath but my place is a fire hazard. I'd rather be safe.

Maybe I'll revisit this shot again. Probably not capsicum anymore, but still revolves around grilling.

I posted the setup shot in my Flickr.
