190/366

I was trying for something like .avina.'s Day 30 shot, but with watermelon, but I couldn't quite get the reflected light to work the way I wanted. I think I need a more reflective surfrace, but it is also possible that watermelon is too translucent to reflect colored light the way an orange peel does. Still, I was reasonably happy with this for now and I'll have to try it again. Strongly backlight food is a fertile field.

Strobist info: 403 EX, on the table, directly behind subject at 1/32 power, shot through built-in diffuser.
