How resist a beautiful pear on a kiln-fired, hand-thrown Jugtown bowl of Carolina clay? The water was there for the swimming. Nikon 5200, 18-55 Nikkor at f4.9, 20 seconds, fluorescent overhead lighting, Manfrotto tripod, cable release. Raw file opened in Nikon software, converted to monochrome with Efex Pro 2. Yes, the pear was sweet.
