Hannah, I just love these posts that you do occasionally … showing the photo, and THEN showing the photo’s object from a wide enough angle to show the whole set up. Really helps me understand how to do better photography!!

Great photo’s and it’s great that you showed how you set it up. My son is enjoying photography at school so I’ll have to share this with him.

Thanks for sharing the setup Hannah, I would have assumed you would have used flash there.
I have so much to learn!

The pepper in that first photo looks almost artificially superimposed on the cubes. . . amazing contrast and clarity! Gorgeous.

is that a black pearl pepper, Hannah? my spouse and i grow them and i thought, “hey, that pepper looks familiar!”. :) such a lovely photograph, indeed!

I’m actually not sure what kind of pepper it is! The seedling was labeled as a pepperoncini (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peperoncini) when I bought it and out it in the garden, but clearly, it is not. Plus, I bought it on the basis of expecting a more mild flavor, but those little things pack in serious heat. It could very well be a black pearl- I wish I knew!
